You can keep any other community fish with neon tetras. Ask your local pet store to find out what fish breeds are allowed with tetras. Here are a few: guppies, cardinal tetras, honey gourami, swordtails, corydoras, zebra danio, harlequin fish, mollies, and other small fish.You are not able to keep them with bigger species of fish such as angel fish

∙ 12y agoPretty much all of them. They are a peaceful family of fish. The ones you need to watch out for are silver dollars (petsmart says 6, 10-18inches). Silver dollars are much bigger. You mainly just need your water parameters right. All smaller tetra can be kept with neons except the blind cave tetra, it would be to much competition for food and the cave tetra would die. Any thing small such as glowlights, rummynose, and silver tips.
