Fahaka with neons

[Joshuakahan]

I was thinking of putting a massive school of neons with my Fahaka, maybe 100- 150. I figure they’re too small and fast and in a big school he would have a hard time getting them. My main concern is would they stress him out? Any opinions are appreciated

Here you go

He is going to eat them all one by one, IMO. I’ve tried it and my Fahaka ate um within 2-3 months. Good luck if you decide to.

I think Fat Homer and P PYRU might be able to help with this.

That’s no good, maybe I’ll 20 before spending money on 150

I agree with Dee above, I did similar before and threw in maybe 100 neon tetras after quarantining with my old fahaka...

I think in total they last at most 1.5 months before the last one vanished...

Question homer, how big was the fahaka at the time?

Ember tetras might be better suited to something like that since they are a lot smaller than neons. Seems like there is a certain size ratio between big and small fish where they can be successfully kept together.
