Hi. All my neons are well and healthy but ive noticed 3 (2 more so that the other 1) have gotton pretty tubby tummys. I was stumped as to why and thought maybe they were more greedy? Then after watching there behaviour I noticed the 3 tubby ones were paired off with non tubby ones. The non tubby ones would lay across ways infront/over the tubby ones heads then move and keep nudging them. What does this mean (if anything) Could it be there breeding and getting ready to lay eggs?? Or is it some other odd behaviour??
 
im not sure but when neons get fat i think that mens sometimes they eat too much or they have not got enough exercise

maybe a pic
 
Ive tried pictures but my camera is usless. One it doesnt get a good zoom in and with them being small fish you end up seeing dots almost lol. 2, my camera has time delay when taking a shot so when I press the button it doesnt snap instantly, a second later it does but the fish have moved (grr) I will have another try. There humongously big but you can see they have a bit of a tum compared to the others. There all very active also.
 
i have noticed that one of mine is slightly bigger, its either lazy than the other fish or eats more. is there chance it could be bloated
