I currently have a school of 26 neon tetras in a heavily planted 90
gal tank along with a breeding pair of angels now for over 3 months
and doing just fine. Of course over time I probably had bought 40 or
so tetras but things are stable now and no deaths in a long long
time..........Just do not buy em from Wally World.........I buy all
mine from Petsmart or Petco, and QT them in water I pull from m,y 90
gal DT, for 2 weeks.(until warranty is uip anyhow) so dead ones are
easy to find and get replaced.Replacements go into a smaller separate
QT so as to not intermix one batch from another.........Only other
fish in the QT is a few cory cats.....I had these fish previously in a
60 gal and right now am contemplating on putting them into a 150 or
180 gal tank since I opened up an area in the living room when we got
rid of one of the couches....I have a 210 gal tank that could also be
used, .........but I would have to come up with some decent lights and
a hood / cover..............in whjich case right now I just do not
feel like messing around with..........

I replied to this message last night, but I don't see it on my server.

You have some really huge tanks that must make beautiful display tanks,...
also probably great for breeding. After thinking this over I'm not so sure
anymore it was my water. Maybe those small tetras carried something......
that, over a few months time, killed them off.

Why not take a few pics of your tanks, put them on something like
Photobucket and give us the link? :-)
