Neon Rainbow fish ration of female to male?

I have found varying info on the ration of Neon Rainbowfish female to male. Most say 2 male to 1 female but I read that 1 male nearly killed the extra male. Which is more dominating, the female or the male?

males are more dominating, they will display to the female and the female will choose between which male she is attracted to. The problem with that was that they probably only kept two males, causing one to dominate the other excessively. Having a number of those fish in that ratio, say 9, will give you 6 males and 3 females. The males will create an ever-changing pecking order and keep themselves occupied.

Well I have 2 males at present. I was going to trade a fish for 1 female but seems unwise to do so. I guess it is best to leave it so, for I can't afford that many fish, $15 each. Perhaps 1 day at auction I will get some.

My 8 are split 2m/6f and I've never had any issues. The research I've done says it's best to either do all males, all females, or 2-3 females for ever male.
