Over the last week I have been losing the Neons - at a rate of approx
one a day. I am now down to 4 or 5 (it was 5 this morning but right
now I can only see 4). ..........

========================
Have you heard about "neon tetra disease?" I'm not saying that's what
your neon's have but........

They don't thrive where I live now, due to our hard alkaline water I
believe. They've never lived more than a few weeks if that, then would
die with no visable cause.


thanks for the research...it certainly seems to be a possibility...would
have responded sooner but have been tied up with work and family....
