Modern Angl Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 One of my Neon tetras seems to be a bit fat There is a sizeable bump on the neons underside inbetween the 2 set of fins which isn't present in the other 5. Its not an odd colour compared to the rest of the fish. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 You could be looking at dropsy, do the scales appear to be poiting outwards slightly? Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 For all everyone is quick to suggest dropsy, I have never seen it in a fish. It could be a growth or tumour of some kind. Is it acting like all the rest and eating well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Angl Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 its eating as much as the rest and swimming about happily, just did a 20pct water change and ran a few water tests to make sure nothing was out of whack, nitrate(50mg/L) and nitrite(0.8mg/L) were higher than last check, I think thats down to the tank cycling. Ammonia is almost zero. Will keep an eye on it and see if its acting odd, I can't see any scales sticking out, but my eyesight isn't fantastic, the fish wouldn't sit still long enough either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
