arielroxi Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I discovered one of my neon tetras bloated and barely swimming about a 2 weeks ago. I moved him to a 10 gal, and salted the tank. The swelling started to go down but he was still swimming vertical like a pencil fish and not a neon. I went to my LFS and picked up MetroPlex. Dosed the tank and within an hour he was swimming better. The swelling is completely gone but there is a brown spot in his belly that looks like a bruise. I dosed every other day for a total of 3 doses. Should I put him back in the tank this weekend? Will the bruise/spot go away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be cautious about putting it back until you’re sure all sickness has cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
