Neon Tetra problems already

I personally prefer top feed frozen over freeze dried........That is
probably just me though as lots of folks use freeze dried. When I put
fish inthe tanks they often times go and hide for a time, but within
a few hours a day or so most they are right there with the rest eating
and doing the fish thing. I just never found any of my neons or corys
to be fussy eaters......especially the corys, they just always seem to
hit the water and go to forageing for foods right off. Sure is
strange with the albino corys as they are pretty well trouble free and
easy keepers.
====================
Well there is definitely some problem with that shipment they got in as all
the glass shrimp and feeder GF died. They had many other losses as well. I
think these fish were indeed stressed somewhere along the line.... then I
came along and they had to endure yet another change. One of the
difficulties they're having is high PH... up to 8.2. They were starting to
work on the system as I left.

I offered them frozen (thawed) brine shrimp but they spit that out also. The
platys and pearl groumies ate the shrimp just fine. It seems they want to
eat, they show an interest in the food, but wont eat what's available.

I'll wait until they get another shipment and see what comes in........
meanwhile I'm not going to add anymore fish to the tank.
