    Hi ahdi,

    Well, that's bacterial dropsy for you, ascites (bloated tummy) and exopthalmus (pop eye) are the classical signs and symptoms.

    This is the result of fluid accumulation within the abdominal cavity and just behind the eyeball. The fluid contains fluid exudate from the infected tissues, pus and bacteria.

    Fishes with bacterial dropsy at such a moderately advanced stage of the infection have poor diagnosis, medicating into the water would usually be of low therapeutic value.

    It may be best to euthanise your neon.

    As for the cause of this, it usually have a few probable causes and predisposing factors, such as :

    1. Poor water quality
    2. Contaminated food/ wrong foodtype
    3. Indigestion/constipation
    4. General poor health of the fish, immuno-compromise (lowered immunity)

    Cheers,

    Kenny
