Hi everyone.
I am new here and I have an urgent problem.
I have been keeping a crew of guppies and neon tetra for many years and everything was going fine.
Then a few weeks ago someone gave me a zebra (yes only one). I didn't know what to do with it, but since after checking the net it sounded safe to put it with the other fish that's just what I did.
During the first two weeks everything was fine although it kinds of chases the others regularly. I thought this fish was much faster and more agressive that the others, but so far none of them died.
Then someone else gave me two of these fish who clean the bottom of the tank. I don't know their name but they are small and don't move much, so I doubt they can do any harm.
And this morning when I woke up, which is about one week after I got the cleening fishes and 2 and a half week after I guess the rather more agressive zebra, almost all my neon were dead (at least 5) plus one guppy. The neons were very old but still, 5 one one day it's crazy!
SO my question is : what do you think is the reason for those deaths and what would be the solution????
HELP!
