Hello, is this Neon Tetra Disease? :
I purchased four neons and three were dead within 2 days.
I didn't notice any visible symptoms but they were huddling together in corner and would just show up dead in the mornings.
I had 6 ph at the time and thought it might have been too much ph shock for the neons.
Soon after I noticed the appearance of the remaining neon tetra (as seen in photo) but decided to keep him alive as he was acting normal.
He has been alive for over a month now with much the same appearance.
I am wondering if it could be Neon Tetra Disease or is it just a birth defect?
Maybe I bought some badly bred neons? They were on sale for $1 each.
I also have 3 healthy looking glow-light tetras. If this IS Neon Tetra Disease wouldn't they all be infected too by now?
Tank Info:
ph: 7
nitrate: 10
nitrite: 0
ammonia: 0
Tank size: 35 litre (small)
Fish: 2 clown loaches, 1 otto, 3 glowlight tetras, 1 kuhli loach (all looking healthy).
Thanks!
EDIT: Also Here is some pictures I've found of the disease..
