	Neons
Thursday Fingerling Posts: 46 Kudos: 32 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Jan-2006	I bought 5 or 6 neons for my 10 gal a while ago. (Now I realse it's too cramped, and I'm trying to convince my parents to let me set up the 29 gal.) They were sharing it with 1 sm ADF, 1 2 in Blue Gourami (Now 4 in) 2 sm Ottos, and 3 Guppies I bought with them..... The neons suddenly started dying off, they didn't last 3 days. The gourami would chase them, but she chases EVERYONE, but what could've happened? No sign of illness, no color decline. Stress? Attack? What? If pets are so stupid, how did they weasel free room and board out of us?

That's to bad about the inbreeding, although, being so pretty, small, and peaceful means that imbreeding is bound to happen I guess. If pets are so stupid, how did they weasel free room and board out of us?

Before you add any more fish get a full water peramiters test done. That 10gal sounds like it is certainly over crowded are you perents thing that if you get a larger tank you will also over crowed it as well. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Understocked tank, well-planted, regular water changes, water params fine. Suddenly about a month ago they started dying for no apparent reason. I didn't lose any of the other fish in the tank, just the neons over a period of about a week. Never did figure out why ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
