I have a few neon tetras mixed with some guppies. They appear to get along during the day, but I always seem to lose one after I turn off the lights and check on them the following morning. Are the tetras naturally weak? The guy at the LFS told me that tetras have the highest death rate at the fish store and was trying to convince me not to buy them.

Both species are bred overseas, and tend to die off quickly over here. You need to develop your own strain it seems to keep them well.
