to keep it short i have 10 neon tetras in my planted discus tank. theve been in there since december with no problems whatsoever.
However, one by one im finding them at the bottom of the tank struggling and pale.
i can only think of two reasons, the first is that the temprature is too high (28 degrees) but i have kept tetras for years at this temp in the past with no problems.
the second is the beefheart..... i feed the discus beefheart 4-5 times a day so naturally the black skirt tetras and the neons are well fed. i'd actually say the neons are a little on the fat side but i never thought it was possible to overfeed?
so far i have lost two in the last two days and there is another struggling. im in the process of setting up my old fluval edge tank to put them in as a temporary measure but i was wondering what everyones opinions are?
cheers. craig.
