I don't know why my one neon tetra is so much fatter, but it always has been. My guess is that it is a female, and the others must be males.
Seriously though, this is one FAT neon.

Next to another neon for a size comparison. Also, a photobombing endler.

LOL I might have to pull my camera out. I have a cardinal that is so fat that her colors are not showing properly. I'm fasting the whole entire tank right now because her obesity concerns me. :D

Jesus, does he/she still eat algae and clean? I have one that refuses to eat algae anymore and is a total flake/pellet hog. Very territorial too; if anyone goes near any flakes that falls her way, she darts at them like an arrow.:headshake2:

No, he would just stuff himself on bloodworms like a fat pig. I swear he could eat an entire cube himself. He wasn't a real SAE so he was never good at eating algae, even when younger. Doesn't he look like a fat sausage ready to burst? :hitting:

I think we need an Over-eaters Anonymous group for our fish, lol.

Actually, this makes me feel better. I have a neon that looks an awful lot like that I keep wondering if there is actually something wrong with her! I've had neons in the past, but didn't remember ever seeing one with a belly like that.

If my boss were here at work to take a picture for me, I'd show you guys the original Miss Tubby -- Lucille, my favorite albino cory. She's HUGE, as in pink submarine size. In fact, I was going to start a thread asking about fish obesity. Sorry, don't mean to hi-jack your thread.
