Running a freshwater aquarium

So I recently purchased a small 5 gallon picturesque wall mount aquarium simply for decor. Boy was I in for a surprise.



I learned all about nitrogen-cycling the water, building bacteria, having zero ammonium levels, proper PH levels, and proper water temperatures.



After a week or 2, figure I'd start off with some basic little neon tetra fish to see how they react to my cycled water. Two of them died within a day, one has survived.



Did an ammonium check, an I'm still at 0.25ppm , did a 10% water change, added 2 drops of stresszyme and stress coat and added a tiny amount of ammolock.



Anyone have any info or care to share their experiences?





Thanks!

Geo
