I assume you're referring to neon tetras. They prefer a soft, acidic (pH <6.5) water. Could this be the problem? Neons are not considered to be hardy anymore, so should only be introduced to a fully cycled tank. Also there is the problem of neon-tetra disease the symtoms of which are explained here...
Hope this is of some help to you.

Neons are not considered to be hardy anymore, so should only be introduced to a fully cycled tank.

In my opinion, not only that: but also a fully mature tank - which means 6 months + established.

I had mine as first fish, they have also moved twice and they have lasted all seven out of eleven a yaer and two months. They really like to be left in the dark and have hiding places like a ship.
They can of course need soft water but in Herts this is unlikely. Do you use tetra safe in the water changes ?

HI,

Have you ever heard of a disease called tetra neon disease, it is pale white patches appear under the skin beneath the dorsal fin. The fish also becomes emaciated and may swim erratically.

What size tank do you have? How long has it been setup? What tests do you have? Sorry for the questions, but somebody was going to ask you sooner or later.
