I have had my neon tetras since December I have 8. Within the 8 I have this rather fat one.... Is it fat as the others aren't and but doesn't eat all that much. Does it have eggs? I'm not looking to breed them at all but this one just became rather big! Any thoughts?
 
Wow she is big. I'd with hold feeding for 2 days to monitor if she gets smaller. If she doesn't then there is eggs in her or she has bloat
 
I've done that and nothing happen I've got blood worms coz I read that can make a bloat disappear etc even the peas too! If she does have eggs how long do they carry for. I'm quite concerned how big it is
 
Freeze dried bloodworms can make them bloat. You have to soak them in tank water to absorb the water before feeding.

I recommend getting live or frozen daphnia to feed or feed deshelled peas
