If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
you mean the stomach look like bigger than normal rite.....if it is true, then is time to bid you goodbye. Hope i'm correct. Neon tetra have this common problem that kills most of my neons.

If you are refering to bloated stomach, it should be dropsy. Usually hopeless for the fish at this stage.
It is usually due to poor water quality or food. Regular water change. Avoid overstocking your tank. Feed them with good quality fish food. That should prevent the disease from happening.

Eh... if the scales are sticking outwards as well, i.e. making them look "furry", its dropsy. Search the web for "dropsy" and see if the symptoms match.
I've had cases of neon tetras bloating from "bad digestion". Been told this is comparatively (with other fishes) common in NTs. They look normal (i.e scales are normal) except bloating in the stomach area (only) and being very bouyant to the point that they have to swim downwards. This will go away after a day or two of starving.

BC, what you said about good fish food is true. I had some flakes which seem a little mouldy and fed it to my goldfish. A day later he start getting fin-rot and looking bad. I quickly change water and added some salt and he now seem to be recovering.

ok talking about flakes...how long will it last the moment you open it. Most of the hobbylist will have at least 2 types of food for their fish.
