u need some place for your fish to hide.
Put some decoration like rocks, wood for the small size fish to hide and it will be ok

Hi, I just purchased 3 swordtails today, and i know absloutly nothing about fish. I think one is dying. Its laying near the bottom but it still looks as though its breathing. It was fine when i first got it but a few short hours later this is the situation. And another fish has a huge string emerging from its belly its about 1cm in lenght. and its been hanging there for an hours. is this normal. as i said i have no clue about fish. cans someone help me.

Can neon or cardinal tetras be kept with swordtails? I have 6 tetras, 5 guppies and 2 swordtails, reently 1 guppy has gone missing somehow, today one of the tetras jumped out of the tank, before now they have got along fine, suddenly i notice the tetras are very pale, you can’t even see their red stripe, should i move the swordtails somewhere else?

George: since you have only small fish i would suggest you can still get 4 female swords and another 2 – 6 danios as danios like to be in schools. swords are live-bearers and danios lay eggs for males to fertilize them.
hop it helps

re:comment above
all of the tetras and danios are around 1 – 2 cm in length and the swordtails are about 3-4 cm in length
cheers again
