I have 4 neon tetras and a betta and 3 mystery snails in a 10 gal tank. Water params are all good. This one neons belly has gotten large in the last week or so. I tried getting a good picture, ill post the best one I got. Any ideas about why this fishy has a big belly all of a sudden?

How is the neon swimming how are the colors and how is it hiding or hanging out in one spot

Also neons lay eggs not livebearers

I feed tetra min flakes. Just a pinch. He is swimming around Just like he always has. His color looks good. . Seems fine except for the big belly.

Hmm maybe try blanching a frozen pea and deshelling it might be bloat not sure though can you get a better pic
 
I think he died and got eaten by the snails. He was just in a 10 gal and can't find him anywhere now :(
