and yes, they will be eating your neons and guppies. your only option would be either e a much bigger tank, or give them to someone who has (or the shop). keeping them in there would be unfair.
Personally I wouldn't put them in anything smaller than 600L and at least 6' long. They are a skittish and very active fish. It always annoys me how many you see in fish shops as they are far from the ideal aquarium fish. Very few people have tanks big enough for them, yet they are very popular and seen in many small community tanks.
