Every once in a while my favorite LFS has those cute little neons on sale for $.50 each. People grab them like they are the last ones on the planet. They wisely house them in the tank right next to the $2.99 Cardinals and away they go.
It never fails that when I'm in there and somebody is buying them I hear "I don't know what happened to them, they just disappear.. Give me 6 more". It's amazing how many fish will eat other fish. Neons seem to be an especially tasty treat for some tanks. Even our tank at work, the Bala Sharks grab a neon from time to time. These sharks are only ~5 inches long.
I think that if you are going to buy neons, or any small fish for that matter, make sure that they are almost the biggest thing in the tank.
