Poorly Neon Tetra

[ardandy]

Noticed a day or 2 ago that 1 of my 9 Neons had a lump on its underneath. It had something poking out, like it was going to the toilet.

When I fed them and it was swimming around I watched it for about 30mins. It behaved and fed exactly the same as the other fish.

Again like it was going to the toilet it 'released' little bits every now and then from this area (I think its its bum?) The stuff that came out floated if that tells you anything?

I've tried to take a picture for ages but this is the best I could get! I've circled the blurry area best I could.

It's colour is perfect.

Not quite sure what you mean.
The lump does it go to a point.
What coming out of his anus, Worms, or stringy white poo.

 

[ardandy]

Imagine a swollen lump around the anus.

Solid white something.

Without sounding disgusting it reminded me of squeezing a spot. But the stuff you squeeze out is solid puss rather than liquidy.

I would issolate him and try a bacerial med.
Feed him some peas aswell.

Keep an eye on his red stripe area that is dosn't look bleached out.
