Tetra Jebo

Why my neon tetra so damn fat?

My freshwater tank tropical "Jebo". It's a tray community with a good variety more suitable. Over the last 2-3 months, one of my, I can only describe as Hardy Neon tetras became very very bold. At first I thought it was pregnancy, but it is now so large that seems to be panting. He does not eat food from other fish. At the outbreak. Finding experienced people who know the fish to respond. No points for stupid answers. If Please guess which. I can do already. Yes, there are certain scales asked. However, it works normally, except that. Sorry for the lack of information complete, I am a rookie.

You did not mention if the scales are high or not, but might have a tumor-house. If is infection, then it would have collapsed over the last two months. To ensure that food, try fasting (which means that all your fish, at least that can be separated) for a few days. You can also try a bath of Epsom salts. Set a bowl of dechlorinated water and add a teaspoon per gallon of Epsom salt (make sure salt alone and that of others). Water should be the same temperature and pH as well as the main tank. Leave the tetra there ten minutes before returning him to the main tank. A quarantine tank would be ideal but I'm not sure if you have one. If not, then at least turn off lights in the main tank when you return. The bathroom can be very stressful for fish, but it could be just what you can do. The gasping "I'm concerned, I would like to analyze your water just in case something else happens.
