Big Tetra!

[jaxz85]

Hi,

I have a relatively small tank at only 60l, I have a few fish in including 4 neon tetras and 2 glowlight tetras. My neon tetras look fine as does everything else in the tank but the glowlight tetras are quite a bit rounder that the others. Is this just because they could be female? Or are they older? They seem fine otherwise but are quite a bit rounder that the others, they have been like that for a couple of weeks now.

I have tried to attach a picture but it wont load!
Thanks

Jackie

Glowlights are just naturally bigger and rounder than neons

Ahh that explains it! Thanks I was starting to that that they were just fat because they are almost always first to eat!

Thanks

they probably are fat and it could be from eggs or food. As long as they are still feeding tho, there is nothing to worry about. Male glolights are narrow and females get chubby.
