If they are acting/swimming fine then they are probably not ill but rather full of eggs. Are all your neons fat or just a few-the non fat ones could be males.

just afew i thought that, i heard they were really hard to breed? would be fun if i managed it by acciedent, how can i tell if they are and if so what should i do

From what I heard about breeding neons, you will need to have aquarium peat moss in the filter or at the bottom of your tank (remember carbon neutralizes the peat so you might want to take that out), and have a dimly lit tank with java moss, cabomba or the like to catch the eggs. Besides that, I don't really know-you might want to check out the tetra section of this forum or search on google.
Good luck!
