Is this an ex-fish I see before me?

About a month ago we got a fishtank for the living room. It took a week for the water in the tank to be suitable for us to introduce fish. It's a tropical tank so the water had to be right and the bacteria had to develop to the right levels. Who knew it was so complicated, I remember being a kid and getting goldfish from the fair and they went straight into the bowl! But apparently this is almost a science.
Anyway, we introduced five neon tetras into the tank.
It didn't go too well and after a couple of days three out of five were ex-fish! We fished out the bodies and changed the water. After a couple of weeks, this weekend we were told that the water was at optimum levels so we got another five neon tetras.
Unfortunately, I have to report another another death in the shoal!
It is a bit suspicious that one of my housemates has been in the house when every death has been noticed!
From now on I'm going to be keeping an eye on the rest, and if another one dies I'm getting Grissom and the CSI boys down!!!!!!
