2 days ago, i bought 8 neon tetras and im guessing the woman who put them in the bag didnt pass her maths exam because i ended up with 9. They were the the little bag for quite a while maybe 1 hour 30mins on the way home. Anyway, this morning i noticed that one of the neons was swimming with its head facing the surface and its tail pointing to the bottom so i quickly moved it into another tank. When i got back from school it was dead. I then noticed that another 2 have started doing this and was wondering what it could be, it cant be an ammonia spike, the tanks been running for about 3 months with only 3 guppies in it too help cycle. I have never tested the water, there are plants in it with DIY CO2 as well as an air pump. The water temp is set too 24C. Can anyone explain whats going on or is it just because i dont really want them all too die. My friend offered too take them off my hands [hes got a shole of about 4 neons and 2 cardinal tetras] but i also bought 3 ottos and 3 rummynose tetras and the tank would just look empty without them, can anyone suggest anything to help?
