    strange behavior

    Thanks again for all your help... I had my water tested, and the woman said the ph level was slightly low (which I corrected with the powder she recommended.) funny thing is, I used the same powder when I first started the tank. and I think it's definitely Neon Tetra disease, because the fish...
