vindy500 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 one of my neons is looking pretty sad, his red is almost non existant and his body aint the same shape as the others, ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 How old is it? I've had some for a couple of years and have lost one or two recently. I just put it down to weak genes from generations of inbreeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 not very. bought maybe a month ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 How old was it when you bought it though? Lack of colour and odd shape can be disease or old age. I have had neons last 8 years though so old age isn't likely in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have a couple of neons exactly the same. I have put it down to old age and inbreeding too. Mine are about two or two and a half years old, lost a couple recently and have another couple from the original batch who look like yours. So long as they don't act stressed or diseased (mine don't), it's probably just age and as MarkLB said, weak genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
