I'm kind of a newbie. I have a 10 gallon tank with filter and heater. I have 2 corydoras, 1 male Betta and had 6 neons. The water temp is at a constant 75-78 degree. Water tested out ok.
I started out with 6 neons and now I only have 1 left. 3 of the neons died with fungus and 2 randomly died. I think the fish is being stressed, but I don't think its from the betta. My betta was curious at first but it never did anything..... actually its kinda afraid of one of the corydoras.
So the question is, if the neon is alone will it die of loneliness? The LFS is kinda far and I don't have time to go to the pet store until the weekend if not till early next week.
I don't know why website said that neons are hardy fish. When I see the the first sign fungus, they die within hours. That's not very hardy.
