Butters

2 days ago, I had six neons. By this morning I'm down to 4, and I fear by the time I get home from school I will have 3. They all have displayed slightly different symptoms. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Thanks.

Whats your parameters?

I could be the mysterious neon tetra disease.

What are the symptoms?

Sorry to hear about your losses

Along with Steen questions.......
What size tank? How many and what kind of fish were in the tank?

Butters

Well, I'm down to three. I just did a water change yesterday, I do them every monday and I don't regularly check those things.
They loose their color, some of their eyes were bulged, and swimming erraticly.
Its a 10 gallon planted tank with 1 bronze corys, 2 pepper cories, and 3 amano shrimp along with the what was 6 neons.

Even though you were overstocked, the symptoms don't sound like ammonia poisoning..
Just a guess, but I'd lean towards NTD.

Shawnie

swimming erratically and loss of color could be ammonia...and not knowing the parimeters as you dont check them, thats where I would start first..especially in an overstocked tank...I hope the get better

lucy, whats NTD ? LOL

Butters

I do belive NTD stands for neon tetra disease (I think). My corys are absolutly fine and my shrimp arn't showing any odd behavior. Thanks for the help!
