Neon Tetra swimming funny.

I just bought 10 Neons for my 55G. They all swim together in a nice tight school but I noticed one of them swims with his nose pointing up and his tail down and he bounces along with the rest of the group in just that alignment. Is this some kind of disease?

I'd keep an eye on it. Could be just stress from transit. Neons are pretty sensitive fish. If he doesn't improve, maybe you will want to look into QT'ing him if it seems like he can't swim at all.

well unfortunatly I watched him Die. He was swimming with his school then he just stopped floated down on an Anubias leaf and that was it.

Sorry. I wouldn't attribute it to anything you did wrong. Just sounded like a weak and perhaps already sick fish.
