Question about Jumbo Neon Tetra and tankmates

[spongebob281]

My lfs have these jumbo neon for $1.99 each. In the past ive never been able to keep the regular ones for more than a couple of weeks. So whats the 411s in the jumbos? Since theyre maxed out in size do their lifespan is closer to an end? Can i keep them with blood rosey barbs, red eye tertas, ?

Btw i bought like 8 of them should i go back to get more?

Iv had failures in the past with tetras but last time was a great success. not breeding successful but I started with babies and grew them out. Tank water parameters and acclimation is where its at. Perhaps my tank being a planted tank at the time helped too in giving them places to hide.

Cool. I do have plants and will be adding more to give them additional places to hide. I bought 12, so far only one casualty.
