Re: Fish dying
A 10 gallon doesn't have adequate swim space for neon tetras. They're also insanely sensitive to water parameters and need a mature, established tank. It will take 4-6 months before you'll be able to keep them successfully in a 20 gallon minimum.

Re: Fish dying
Ok, in that case, I'm just going to get another snake, or something that's not a fish.

There are only a few betta species that can be co-habbed and they need to be imported, I doubt you can just buy them. Even females can be territorial.
Females look gross too

Not true! These are my female bettas!
Mine are fine together but they are in a big tank with lots of cover. Many breeders house females together though.

Well it'd be a younger snake. And I'd put it in a bigger as it got older.

Re: Fish dying
Actually I just found the perfect fish for me. They require NO maintenance, NO water, NO food, NOTHING.
they're perfect.

My guess is that there's some sort of parasite or fungus in the tank. We've got some sort of fungus going through our brains right now that just will not go away. Luckily it seems to be a very specialized variety, as it hasn't touched anything else in the tank.

This has to be the best autocorrect on the face of the planet.. It was neons, as in Neon Tetras. LOL.
