Caryl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Constipated? Try getting it to eat a bit of shelled, cooked pea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdspider Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 My neons kept getting bloated when I first got them. If you feed them flake, crunch it up into teeney pieces or soak it before giving it to them, it seems to swell up in their bellies 'cos they're greedy and don't stop eating ever! As Caryl says, peas are good for constipation but my neons don't really seem interested in peas, especially since they sink to the bottom. Neons aren't a very resilient fish, they're bred in masses without much care for quality, so don't blame yourself for his death! Apparently cardinals are tougher, but also more expensive (they look like neons, but more red on the belly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
