i have 11 neon tetras in my 20gl tank,they have been in there for about 2 months but about a week ago i was having a look at the little guys as u do one one seemed smaller and is couler looked washed out.i watched it for a bit but nothing seemed to be wrong that i could see he was sill getting food and was not getting chased away or anything so i thorght nuthing about it but checked on him everyday and made sure he was ok..now here is hte problem i just went to feed the little guys and i saw two washed out small fish but they where still swiming fine and everything..... tested my water and my p.h was horibaly low..this is happend b4 because of my kh beeing to soft so i check the kh its low too so i put my stuf i not get that up and now i hope the p.h goes up too i will check tomorrow....

i dont like fmessing around with p.h hat a natral way to keep it stable.

do u htink the litle guys are effected by the p..h being low...

my tank is fully cycled and has been set up for nearly 6 months.....i do weekly water changes and gravel vacs
and every thing has been fine

any ideas anyone?

thanks candy

Hi Candy...not sure about the Ph etc....im not expert!
But with my neons in the morning when I turn my tank lights on they are all pale and seem to 'charge' up as they wake up!
