Question Why do my neon tetra go on his back?

Thank you

Lucy

I'm sorry you're little neon isn't doing well.

If I understand your post correctly, you've gotten 4 neons. One is on his back.
You need to get them into a 15-20g tank? Or did you think you had to get a school of 15-20 fish?

Neons aren't as hardy as they once were.
Did he seem ok at the store? His colors were bright and he was swimming normally?
They should be acclimated to the tank very slowly.....say over the course of an hour.
Is the tank heated? Are they any other tankmates?
It's possible he was already sickly and the stress of moving is too much for the little one.

great advice and question from lucy...
what are your water parimeters ?

Matt

Yer water parameters would help us.
Maybe your pH is low?
