yes, neons are a tropical fish so they must have a heater. water temp should be around 68 to 79f, but somewhere in the middle is best I was thinking about 72f .

Do neon or cardinal tetras really need to be placed in a settled tank?
yes
Can you have a fish tank with 18 neon tetras and 2 large goldfish?
No, Neon Tetras and Goldfish do not belong in the same tank. Goldfish prefer cold water, while Tetras are more of a tropical fish.
When do tetras separate?
Neon Tetras do very well in soft and slightly acidic water. If there are a couple of Neon Tetras left, it may be best to quarantine them in a separate tank.
Will 3 guppies and 3 neon tetras do well in a 10 gallon tank or do you need more tetras?
That is fine. You might consider getting some corydoras catfish.
Can you keep Betta fish with Neon Tetra fish?
You can put at least 5 neon tetras with Betta's because neon tetras need to be in a school. If you only put 1-3 neon tetras, then they will probably be eaten by the Betta because you won't have enough neon tetras to be in a school. The purpose for a school is to protect themselves from predators with a group and if you only have 1-3 neon tetras, then they will hide and get really stressed out. So, get at least 5 neon tetras and another important thing is, get a big enough tank for your Betta and neon tetra. That is, because, as you know, Betta fish are territorial and need their own territory and if the neon tetras enter their territory (if the tank is small), then the Betta will probably attack (that is only if you don't have enough neon tetras and not a big enough tank). So, it is important to get at least a 10- 15 gallon tank and get at least 5 neon tetras for 1 Betta fish. 1-3 neon tetras won't work. They will not be in a school and will be stressed out and hide from the Betta. A thing about neon tetras that is interesting and is cool is that, neon tetras bury their eggs in the gravel (Make sure to only have gravel!) if their eggs are not going to hatch. Also eat them.~Thank you, and good luck!~
What colors are neon tetras?
The Neon Tetras are neon blue with a narrow pinkish or red stripe running across their sides. Very pretty fish and very hardy. Great for starting a new tank with.
Are freshwater angelfish a significant danger to neon tetras in the same tank?
Ha! Neon Tetras are expensive fish food. So yes, and quite the snack i must add
What fish can you keep with angelfish and neon tetra?
angel fish can eat neon tetras is the simple answer, but i have angel fish and neon tetras in the same tank and the angel fish does not bother the neons, although this may be because the angel fish is not full grown yet so it is a 50% chance
Is it OK to have in my 55 liters tank neon tetras and mollies together?
Provided you are not overstocking they should be OK.
What is a good fresh water fish combination for 17gallon tank?
You can safely keep a shoal of neon tetras (tropical) in a 17 gallon tank
What are good tank mates for an upside down catfish?
Julii corydoras and neon tetras to even African cichlids.
What should you put in your fish tank?
You can make a Syrian hamster setup in a 10+ gallon fish tank. Make sure there is no water and that there is very soft bedding. You could also put various fish in your tank. The cool ones I think are the Angelfish, the Bettas, the X-ray Tetras, and the Neon Tetras. They need water and plants to swim around. You could put turtles in you fish tank. They need a very large tank though.
