My Rosy Tetra is losing color and won't eat with the other Tetras. She has lost two partners (for some reason, when we brought them home, the first Rosy Tetra died, was replaced and his replacement died the next day). I asked the pet store if she would be lonely and they said no, but she hasn't eaten anything in about two days. :-( Her color is not vibrant anymore, and she just follows the other Tetras around but doesn't really do much playing or anything.
Are Rosy Tetras just not a hardy breed, or is she missing her mates? Our tank is rather messed up at the moment and so we are doing alot of water changes to keep the ammonias and nitrites down, but it has been like that for about the amount of time she has been in it and she hasn't been acting strange until just recently (just after we didn't bring her another Rosy). The other Tetras are doing fine, we've tested the water twice a day, made necessary changes, and continue to check their gills, etc., for damage and so far they are still thriving and eating like pigs. So I'm just worried about Rosy. Anybody know about Tetras?
Thanks!
