Ember Tetra death

[GoldenGardner]

HI All, 

 

I was sitting watching my tank today after feeding and realized there was a fish floating at the top. I hope he wasn't gone for too long, he's lost a lot of his color, so I'm assuming it's an Ember Tetra based on the dorsal fin shape. I also don't think I am missing any Neon Tetra's, just 1 Ember. 

I checked the Ammonia levels and they are near zero. I didn't check the other levels because I think they are all ok. All the other fish are swimming normally. 

 

Any idea what could have happened?

i think thats a neon, and some times there is no real way to know why just 1 died.

Thats a neon tetra you can tell because of the blue coloration. They die for numerous reasons. I would just make sure your other fish are fine and you should be good.

I must have my counts wrong, because I thought I was missing the ember not the neon. Monitoring the fish now. This guy was floating up in my duckweed so kind of hard to see.
