so last night i noticed all 5 of my neons were a odd shape, they look normal until about halfway along their tummies and then they kind of go all bloated. this morning when i took a look 4 of them had a more normal shape just slight bloating but one of the smallest ones was still looking really odd.
one of my harlequins also looks a bit different, its the biggest one and its belly looks kind of squared off, like a livebearers when shes ready to drop. just not quite as squared as that. is that a normal shape for a harlequin?
i cant get water stats right now but will be able to in a couple of days

Well I'm no expert but this happens with my Neons too I think its just where they have been feeding and they bloat out with all the food they've eaten and once it gets digested there bellies go back to normal,I don't think its anything to worry about but like I said I'm no expert xD

That what i was thinking as well, just sounds like a big meal but im no expert either.
Had you just fed them?

yes i think so, but 2 of them look like that all the time. i will try feeding them less :)
 
Try soaking your food before feeding and of course feed sparingly :rolleyes:
