    The picture is not that clear or all conclusive, but that seems to be ich to me.

    What happened to the fish with curved spine? If you have read the Wikipedia information, Neon Tetra Disease (NTD) has NO cure to date. However, other disease may also be easily mistaken as NTD.

    Why the need to double the dose of salt? Why dose the salt in the first place? Salt is only useful if you know exactly how it can help under the specific circumstances.

    Here is an FAQ article on salt usage, which is quite useful, http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u...article_id=335

    the fish with curved spine, if i remember correctly, died 5 days after

    thanks for the link
    i thought dosing salt might help the neons to strengthen their immune system
