They don't 'kill off' characters in MLP. They write them out, often with an almost-contemptuously casual one-liner (no, I haven't forgiven or forgotten what they did to Peewee. I will never forgive or forget what they did to Peewee). However, the little phoenix was only in one episode and even then only for a few minutes. Tank is a major character sidekick and would be a lot more difficult to write out, mostly because it would make selling Rainbow Dash and Tank toys difficult.
