I had 14 neons and 5 cardinals plus 12 rummy nose and they are just dropping like flys what can be the cause?

zacusmaximus said:Neons don't necessarily have NTD if their color is lacking. Stress and other diseases will cause their coloration to suffer. NTD will look like a film of white growing slowly over the body. Pleistophora affects the muscle tissue and as it develops the necrotic tissue turns white. There is no known cure for pleistophora.
I would think you do not have NTD because, strangely enough, cardinals are mysteriously resistant to the horrors of pleistophora. Besides most of the testras, cichlids, cyprinids and even goldfish pleistophora infections have been known to occur.
