I have 5 neon tetras, 2 small leopard long finned danios, and a betta in a 10 galon with an AC filter. Lately, ONE of my tetras bellies has just...EXPANDED a TON. It's sickening to see how FAT the little thing is. I read up on breeding to maybe help ease the expansion of it's belly, heavily coated the tank, and it's very dim, hoping if it WAS pregnant it'd pop out it's eggs and be spiffy. it doesn't seem to act different, but likes to hide int he stalks of my silk plants in one corner...
the other neons leave it well alone
arrg. Might it be gravid? I know they eat the eggs, but anything to stop it from being EXTREMLY bloated.
