they work better in well planted tank, with lot's of places to hide. Although they can go with other larger fish they might get eaten. Small fish that stay in groups like tetas will probably go fine with them. I would recomend cardinal tetras, they have a really nice colour and are a bit larger than neon tetras. And where I get my fish there is glass shrimp for 49c...
