Giant Danios With Neon Tetras

Would giant danios eat neon tetras?

I have a 75G planted tank. I have 6 neon tetras and am building the school to about 10.

There's other assorted tetras/danios and cories, but I want the final stocking to be:

1 Powder blue dwarf gourami
7 giant danios.
10 neon tetras
7 panda cories
2 nerite snails

Would this work? I don't want any of the current residents hating being in there... Or getting eaten.

 

I wouldn't go with danios for a couple of reasons. 1) They like much cooler water than the tetras and 2) they're so infamous for mycobacterial infections that they've been used in many scientific studies.

 

I think they would be fine. The temperature range for neons is 68-75f and for the danios it is 65-75f so they are temperature compatible. If you are nervous about the size difference then you could go with a smaller danio.

The school sizes are quite small, I'd up them all to about 15.

 

I agree about the size difference. I feel Neon Tetras are easily outcompeted and stressed by having larger tankmates.

 

I have pearl danios. I'm just going to stick with them instead of giant danios. I love them. Their personality and salmon-style look is awesome.

I do love giant danios so it would be fun to have them at some point.
