I got 18 neon tetra's like 3 days ago.. 8 for my 30g which had 7 to make the numbers to 15.. All 15 are still alive..
The other 10 was for my discus tank, I already had 12 with some cardinals in that tank.. I had the cardinals/neons (12) for like a week prior and none of them died. However pretty much all 10 of the neons I got are dead or missing now.. I count only 15 total.. I have found 4 dead.. The other 3 are missing.. 2 of the neons I noticed after a day the red on there tails was turning pale white almost and they couldn't use there tails..
All 4 I found dead like this.. there red tails pretty much dead or limp yet they are still breathing.. This almost sounds like neon tetra disease to me.. The 8 I got for my 30g tank came from the same store petsmart but from a different tank even though the tanks are linked it was a different tank.
Im pretty ticked off.. I cant find my receipt and even if I did I can only find 3 of the dead ones.. They were on sale for $1.20 1 or 2 or 3 isn't a big loss but nearly all 10 are..
The 30g tank is all platies and 2 cory, 2 otto and that's it.. The discus tank I have 6 discus only 2-4 inches though. A red tail shark, 2 cory, 2 otto, and 2 rubbernose pleco... I don't think its the red tail shark.. I have one with 10 neons in another tank and they are all fine. Is it the discus killing them ? Or are they dying from some disease.. like I said the red parts in there tails turn a pale white almost and they die a day later. Also again I had 12 in there for a week and none died
