I've got two Von Rio tetras and I'm not sure what's wrong w/them. Yesterday I noticed they have bloated bellies and appeared to be "gasping" for lack of a better term. Their mouths keep opening and closing rapidly. The other Von Rio's in the tank appeared fine and the other fish in the tank appeared fine too. I separated these two into my 5g hospital tank, but I'm not sure how to treat as I'm not sure what the problem is. They're obviously stressed and have lost their color. Their fins also appear to be little ragged. I just did a water change. None of the other 20-30 fish in the tank appear stressed at all.
I first thought it was dropsy, but now I'm not sure as the fish don't exhibit some of the symptoms of dropsy. I'm almost thinking they're suffering from constipation.
