Hey, Did you warm up the water... or leave it to become room temperature before you put it in the tank? Or did you put it in straight out of the tap into the tank? Alot of cold water being poured into a tank at once can shock the fish and they will die. Missy

Hey, Tetras like to swim in shoalls, 2 isn't enough, it makes them vunerable, add 5 to 6 more. Try to get more females than males. Missy Mail me if you need more help.
