For the last couple weeks I've been losing neons like crazy, I should note I just started trying to keep them a couple weeks ago also. I believe I've lost 9 total now. When I lost the first few I chalked it up to crappy quality fish from the store(but now I've bought from 2 different LFS) after getting them the next day I had to ditch one due to NTD, the rest never showed any signs of NTD but I'd keep finding 1 or 2 stuck to the filter intake dead in the morning or after work. Yesterday the remaining 3 were all swimming around happily then with in an hour one was dead on the intake. I don't think its natural anymore. Can't be my cories, snails, ghost shrimp, or otto's which leaves me with 4 suspects, 1 female betta who I've never observed showing any aggression towards them, and 3 black kuhli loaches who are suppose to be peaceful but I've observed one kill shrimp. The 2 survivors are from the first group of them I bought and full grown, all the others weren't quite full size yet.
Water tests have all been good, ph around 7.3
Thoughts, sucky fish or murder?
