So I thought I would start a new thread today. Since there was such confusion (on my part) last night.
I have a possible sick neon tetra. Their is a pale yellow spot on both sides of his body. Hubby is trying to get a picture now. He is a baby neon so its really hard to get a pic. I can't test my water parameters but I do daily 25% water changes.
1) I was feeding them food that was at least 6 months old-possibly over a year. I didn't know that food went bad and it was given to me. I switched them to new food today. Could it be malnourishment? All of fish are healthy and look well fed.
2) The yellow seems to be under the blue stripe. The blue strip is still visible. It wraps around his body.
3)He doesn't seem to be exhibiting any other signs of NTD.
NTD checklist:
Restlessness and sensitivity. He's swimming fine and rests at yet. I used a flashlight to check last night
• The fish become more isolated He's swimming with the school
• The fish has difficulty swimming He is swimming normal
• The tell tale white/ pale tissue appears. yes there is the pale yellow
• As cysts develop and produce more spores, body may become lumpy or irregular. Body does not look lumpy
• Often in advanced cases spine may become deformed or curved. Spine looks normal
I will post a picture asap. Thanks for all your help.

I only have the 20 gallon and the 2 3 gallons. I put the babies in with my betta but after 4 days he was chasing them around. They looked perfect then, so I moved them into the 20 gallon. I should have moved the betta into a 1 gallon.
