http://forum.aqua-fish.net/ A forum devoted to aquarium fish, plants, techniques and fish keeping as a whole. en http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=neon-tetras_#1 My neons all look kind of pale first thing in the morning when I turn on the light. As soon as I feed them they turn bright neon again. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I feed them some food that helps them to keep their bright colors, (or so it says on the bottle) and they seem to like the food OK. The water temperature is within the proper range, at least my thermometer says so! My tap water is kind of hard, but I use a PH balancer. What do you think? sheilakathy 2012-10-20 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=neon-tetras_#2 Ive just started a new fish keepers forum at http://aquariumforum.x10.mx/ and would like to invite anyone who truly loves the fishkeeping hobby and likes to discuss it to come join me there :) Shadow Bass 2013-07-19 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=neon-tetras_#3 My neons all look kind of pale first thing in the morning when I turn on the light.
