Please help my fry have suddenly started dyeing there has been no problem before what's happening xx
 
Unfortunately, some fry don't survive whatever you do.
It's hard i've had it happen to me before :(

But just to be sure, how many fry have you got?
and how many have died?
 
I managed to save 6 fry when they were born but tbf they were completely unexpected. When I found the fry I put them in a sive at the top of the tank they were born on the 6th of april and have been fine since last thursday and 6 have died since :S

Thats strange, did you move the fry somewhere else? Or clean the sive? What were you feeding them?
Try getting a fry trap, you can get plastic ones or nets.

But i would check them beforehand, as i have had some which haven't worked, like the holes at the bottom are too big and my fry got through :(
 
I thought it was i but strange and yes the sive is clean unfortanly I'm only 14 so buying one of thoughs is not an option for me but last wednesday I'd brought a sucker fish could that in any way be the problem ?

Haha don't worry i'm only 17 :)
And they're quite cheap if that's what you're worrying about.
I haven't had a problem my plecos, but if they really wanted to they probably could get them, but they normally just eat algae.
As in sucker fish, do you know what it is? as this may be more helpful
 
I think its a plage or something like that but Ino it begins with p x
 
yes thats the one!! I also have a white male molly, a female orange molly, a famale dalmation molly and a neon xxx

The fish may have been able to get them through the sive, depending on if the fry could fit through, did all of the food stay on the sive, that may have fallen through...
Also have you only got 1 neon tetra?
 
if you look on my profile picture you'll see the tank there kept in and yes I only have 1 but it isn't very big xxx
 
Neon tetras have to be kept in groups, as they are shoaling fish, so maybe you should get some more :)
I think there should be atleast 6, and that number would be fine in your tank.
 
i did have six but they all died exept that one but that was about a month after i atchally got a tank and I wasn't very expereanced in keeping fish.
this is the neon i have xxx
