    have the light going all the time

    Do you have any algae issues?

    What size is your tank and what filter do you have?

    Sounds like you over stocked your tank and thats why all your neons died (i have done that before as well) How many Litres is it? You might want to add some plants to help keep your tank stable and your fish will like you for it.

    Welcome to the forum. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome section.

    Would you give us a bit more information ie the size and type of tank you have, what sort of filter, do you have plants. That way we could assist you more.

    Black Widow tetras are not known to be the friendliest of fish. If your guppies are dropping fry into the tank it is very likely they are either being eaten by other fish or the mother guppy herself.
