Default Truly a DAY OF DEATH for fishkeepers...

You never mentioned the temperature of your aquarium. I have found
that Neon Tetras do not do well over 76 F. I bought ten of them for 99
cents and they all lasted but three days at 80 F. I did some research
and learned the temperature was too high. I never bought more because
I prefer a warmer temperature aquarium for my plants.

==========================
They don't live long for me because our water is too hard and too alkaline.
When I lived in NYC they thrived in the slightly acid soft water there. I
no longer even consider soft water-acid water fish.

Frugal ponding since 1995.
