Have a question!!! fish question

I was talking about the light in the hood of the tank. Please don't rig something up and fry your fishies! For a ten gallon tank , if you don't already have a lighted tank, I'd go with the heater.

You might be okay without a heater. I had a ten gallon tank that was constantly 72-74. I rarely had the light on too.. it just had a hood.

Tetras are schooling fish which need to be with there own species in groups no smaller than 5. If you already have a diamond tetra, you should add more diamonds rather than neons. Most fish stores will accept exchanges on fish, so see if you can change the diamon for a neon.

thanks for all your advise!! I think i will just stick to bettas lol. when i get my pay check i will save up for neons and a more expensive tank with heater and light!! lol.
