pcc Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hi, I have kept 10 neon tetra for 8 months now. I recently noticed that one has become quite large compared to the others. Is this normal? Could it be full of eggs? Neon tetra disease? There is no discoloration, fin rot, spots etc. Including a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 @xXInkedPhoenixX didn't you have a swollen neon like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) @Chick-In-Of-TheSea I have, twice. One time it got better and I did nothing. The other time the fish bloated (cannot confirm if same fish or not) and lost color so I QT and treated with Kanaplex and Epsom soaks. It passed. Never figured out why unfortunately. I left the one alone because it still ate despite having some issues moving around. It also retained color showing me it wasn't too stressed. I removed the other one because it was showing stress and struggling to eat. Edited June 15, 2023 by xXInkedPhoenixX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyM Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have one that looks exactly like this. I've had them for months, with no recent additions to the tank. Behaves normal. I did see a male kind of zig-zagging around, which I've read is a breeding pattern for these fish - so hopping she's just egg laden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
