Hi All!

I had a few tiny neon tetras die a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't find the body of one of the ones that died. I have searched the tank, and the gravel, high and low, but can't seem to find the body. I think it is (or was, as the other fish seem to be doing better now) fouling up the water, as dead fish tend to do...

Any idea how long it would take for a very small neon tetra to fully decay and stop fouling the water? I'm gonna search the tank again, but I have had no luck finding the body. I am doing very regular water changes tho (usually 10% ever day or two)...

Thanks!
