So, I was preparing to go to the LFS for a Dwarf Flame Gourami for my 10g. I did a 50% water change, like I do every Saturday. The water was treated with Prime, and the temp matched the tank exactly at 78. The water params are great, 0 amm, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, before the water change.
Then I went to get ready. When I came into the living room to grab my purse ALL my neon tetras were belly up. The cories were all fine, happily playing in the bubbles. I did another water test, and the params were the same, but a lower nitrate...
The bottom line is, I am DONE with neon tetras! I am sick of them dying, though I do feel terribly about them being gone.
Any suggestions for a small school of something for my 10g that is NOT a tetra?
My tank is lightly planted with a few hiding spots, and is home to 3 cories.
Thanks for the advice (and listening to me gripe ) )!
