New tank, fat Neons Hi there, <Good morning!> I'm
13 and I love fish. I saved all my money and got a 30litre tank. I have
done everything right washed the gravel and planted plants and o on. I
left it running for a week and have done regular pH level tests. 2
weeks ago I got my first 4 fish, 1 peppered Cory and 3 neon tetra. All
is well, until today when I noticed that the largest and 2nd largest of
my neon's have very large stomachs!! I am not quite sure what it is
, I am thinking pregnant because those 2 seem to spend a lot of time
together but I began to wonder if maybe it wasn't so in a panic I
searched and this sight looked really useful so here I am!! Do you
think you could help me, will it spread to my new ???'s they are
half orange and half deep blue, small, smaller than the Neons!!
<Mmm, I suspect your "fat" Neons have just eaten a good
deal more dried food than they should have... and will thin down (or
have done so already) on their own. Do look into using other types of
foods (frozen/defrosted, fresh) to keep
