| check around the floor near the tank, they could have jumped out.

| Maybe you got a bad batch of neons; a lot of times they are weak. The other fish may be eating them after they die, or their carcasses may be up under ornaments or in some other hard-to-find location. It would be a good idea to test ammonia for a while to make sure the fish aren't decaying in the tank and leading to more deaths.

| dang...your tetras must be unhealthy in some way, to be weak enough to get into the filter like that. make sure the water is clean. if you must, then put a sponge/foam cutout on the filter intake (not sure what kind of filter you have) to prevent fish from getting in. but if they were healthy, they shouldnt be winding up there... sorry for your losses dude.
