My large neon tetra has been constantly "out of breath". At first I thought it was because he had been playing with the other two but, he hasn't stopped in well over a week, and he's panting even as he sleeps(or rests, or whatever it's called). I have 3 guppies, a clown pleco, a gravid blushing whiteskirt tetra, and 3 neon tetras (including itself), all of which are healthy, except for the neon in question. The water is very well oxygenated and I haven't noticed this in any of my fish except for a guppy I had months ago who died from unknown causes. My question is: does my neon have a disease? Could it be the dreaded parasite that feasts on fishes' gills... If it were, wouldn't it have already spread? Please help!
