A search through this group for neon tetra deaths results in a huge
number of threads from those who've had similar experiences to mine:

If you are determined to have Neons, set up a small tank and fill it with
water (and new Neons) from where the Neons originated. Then gradually do
water changes over a week such that your Neon tank's parameters shift
towards your main tank's parameters. For example, do a 20% w/c on your
main, followed by a 20% w/c on the Neon tank using the main tank's water.
After 2 days, do another 20% change on the Neon tank using main tank
water, etc etc, doing w/c on the main tank as required. This method
better ensures that whatever parameters might shock the Neons, are slowly
introduced at a speed they can absorb them.

NetMax, I appreciate your advice.
