bent neon...

[Tokis-Phoenix]

Isn't my lucky week this week, but anyways...
I was just looking at one of my tanks which currently holds 8neon tetras along with some guppys, corys and a plec. The neon looks pregnant but weirdly she also looks bent- her color isn't faded in any way at all and the blues and reds are strong in color, but her body looks bent or slightly twisted to one side.
She is shoaling with the other neons fine and the others are looking perfectly healthy but is this the infamous neon tetra desease? What should i do?
Water stats in this tank are 0 nitrites and ammonia with 9 nitrates.

Tokis are you sure she is not pregnant and it's dropsy as they can get a bent tail with that, and it's not sounding good i'm afraid.

I would have thought her scales would stick out or somthing with dropsy or is this not the case with neons?

 

[WILDER]

My platys scales didn't stick out either, i doubt you could see them on a neon, it's not sounding good tokis if it has a bent tail, is she preganant, what ph is your tank at.

Its been a while since i tested for ph, but its very neutral in general and i havn't had any problems with the neons for the past 6months until now so i don't think its a prob with the tank...But the neon affected in particular was recently moved to a new tank with 7 others before she became ill- could the move brought on the sickness?

Just seeing if she was in the right ph to lay eggs, if it's neutral can't see her laying eggs, you could try an internal bacteria med on her, as if she's bloated could be internal bacteria infection, also try some shelled peas.
