The Lonely Neon...

Once upon a time, a young college student named Ryan started his 10 gallon fish tank, and the first fishies he got were 4 neon tetras.  The neon tetras were scared of the spacious tank and hid in the corner all day.  Mr. LFS happened to sell Ryan two reeaaaaly small neons, but ryan still wanted to keep them.

Well, Ryan got more fishies, but the little neons slowly perished.  Ryan thought "I am doing anything wrong!? Why the F*#& do my other fish thrive and my neons die!?!?"  

After two neons had died, the other two remaining took a liking to the Zebra Danios and followed those little buggars around.  But last night, the other small Neon perished, leaving him with one neon.

He now sits in the corner of the tank, lets the food come to him, and just hangs out by himself, looking lonely and sad...whats to come of the lonely neon?  To be continued...
:'(

IN ALL REALITY!!!  What should I do with the poor buggar...he looks unhappy (I know he's a fish, and emotions are hard to tell) but he just sits there, while the others swim and swim!  He was the biggest out of the four neons I did get, but geez!  I wish he would school with the others, or someone would say "i have a huge school of neons" I dunno...Suggestions?

Thanks!

Oh, i dont need to know why they died...because the rest of the fish are fine

I just wanna know what to do with the little buggar.  The lonely neon...should i give him away?  advertise him to be given away?  See if he hangs out with the danios more?  I dunno.

Not a technical question, dont worry :)

Hmmm! I would want to know because next time you will be more successful with neons plus what if your other fish starting dying also? I have heard horror stories how one species of fish after another in a community got wiped out. Happened to me also. All my rasboras died and then my cardinals until I removed my ram. He was the carrier of whatever it was.
