Rule of thumb when filling an aquarium with fish - 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of fish leaving out between 3-5 gallons for rocks and decorations, etc. Tetras can of course live together fine.

The general rule is one gallon of water per inch of fish. For example if you had a 3'' goldfish he would need at least a 3 gallon tank. Neons are small I would say you could have around 35 but I would ere on the side of caution. Hope that helps.

A bunch lol. Neons aren't good fish though, their very sensitive and die very easily. Definitely want to put them in a well established cycled tank though. I believe the cardinal neon tetras are a bit heartier then the regular neons, that's what I've heard anyway. Same thing, their just a tad bigger.

you mean the 29 gallon tank with or without water ?
without you can put lots of them but they will die regarding how good your filter is!
PS. I had someone saying he has about 20 in such a 29 gallon tank. Probably crushed coral wouldn't be a good thing since neons are fans of softer water. the coral will probably raise your pH. From what I know of the amazon basin lots of wood Let it leach and give you the tannins for the water stain.

the rule of thumb is one fish per gallon if they are small like tetras. other wise 1 fish per 3 gallons.

neons are really sensitive to water... keep it clean and they prefer slightly acid/soft water... a driftwood in the tank might help with that.
