   • 1998 January 24, LASP, “Dead tetras”, in rec.aquaria.freshwater.misc, Usenet‎^[1]:

     All the tetras in my tank (3 species - black neons, Pristellas, and red eyes) died within a 36 hour period. The corys and otos in the same tank are fine.
     There was no change in water quality, feeding habits, or water temperature. I have no idea why all the tets would die in such a short time span.
