Just browsing by But it said your tetras where eaten not that they died due to chemical changes is that correct? me personally I am down to 1 tetra because mine couldnt handle something (newer tank everyone seems to feel that is the culprit) but good luck and I hope for the 3 you have left thatthe tank works well soon so they dont become dinner

well i have none of the neons left i lost one due to the water problem and when i put the rest in the 55 the rest got eaten i'm guessing from the sevrums. but i put all the rest of the fish back into the 10 gallon tank and everything seems to be fine now. the tanks are still new less than a year old so i'm still working out the kinks and letting the tank mature.

Maybe it was the change in water temp. During one of my w/c, the water was warmer than I thought it was. The gourmis attacked and ate all but 2 neons. ( neons in that tank as temp holding place) They ate them so quick, by the time I could grab the net, it was too late. Tiger Barb also laid eggs next day, I think. So temp is more important than I thought. Im guessing, but I think the temp prob went up 4- 5 degrees. I was filling tank with Python, felt the hose go warm, too late by then. The neons are now living with Parrot Fish, and doing fine. so far.

If the fish floated to the top, some thing killed them quickly. I still find this a mystery.
