Getting really distressed that our neon tetras keep disappearing and most of the reading I’ve done talks about the conditions they are bred and shipped in and how sensitive they are. All tests are done on the tank water (temp, nitrites, nitrates, pH, ammonia, hardness etc) and all are within neon tetra parameters yet they still either disappear completely or are found floating if they’ve just died. Originally the silver tips were attacking them but bigger shoal (10) has stopped that. So I figure buying from a different shop will help – anyone got any tips? 60L tank BTW. Thank-you
Just to add the silver tips are tetras not sharks – only 5 of them so not overstocked

The reason your fish keep dying is because you are severely overstocked. 60L only translates to 16 gallons and Silver Tip sharks a minimum of 25 PER fish. They can reach sizes of up to 10-12 inches. That combined with having neon tetras is doing a tap dance on your water quality resulting in ammonia spikes that kill your sensitive neons. You need to get rid of the silver tips all together and cycle your tank properly before you try to keep neons again.
