Lumps can be bacterial, parasite, viral, tumours.
I think a pic would be good.
Do the lump form a cluster of berries.

Do the lump form a cluster of berries.
yea i think they did.and the eggs on her back were in a cluster as well

 

[WILDER]

A cluster of lump like berries can be lymthocystis which is viral.

What caused the death of the neons? you said you had 10 but now there are just 2.

I agree a pic would be good, they can help but also be deceiving.

 

[lachojski2005]

Did the bellies look lumpy on the dead fish.
Hard to tell if they had ntd if they have been dead in the tank for a while, as they look bleached out anyway.

 

[emmsy]

do they look like this?

[WILDER]

[WILDER]

Looks like there burst to me infecting the whole tank.
That pic is gross.

 

[emmsy]

Come to my surgery, I'll show you gross.

Why did those neons die in the tank? I still wanna know

Emma

 

[WILDER]

No thanks i'm hate things like that.
Plus I can't handle a animal being in pain.

If the bubbles where clear then it wasn't lymphocyst.
It was either excess mucous and some airbubbles or some eggs attached to her back.
The lumps in the belly could be something she ate, parasitic worms or eggs developing inside her.
Check your water quality and make sure the gravel is nice and clean. Make sure the filter is running properly and see how it goes over the next few days. if it happens again look for fine air bubbles in the water. They could be coming from a leaky filter or an airstone.
A photo would be a big help.

Neons could have died from anything but if it happened over a short space of time, say 3 or 4 days, then it was probably a bacterial infection. The fish died and the b/nose ate them during the night. If the angelfish is big it might have eaten them too.

Anyway I'm going to bed so toodles all.

You know we said about hunches the other day Wilder.

NTD sprung to mind without touching a text book.
