View Full Version : Simming problem

I have a neon tetra that seems to have a problem swimming after he's
eaten. I have an SEA, two platies, and 3 neons in a 5 gallon tank.
Before I feed them in the morning the neons are usually together
normally. After I feed them one of them seems to have trouble
swimming down, and has a big belly. This lasts for a good portion of
the day but seems to go away by night time or over night.
I'm curious as to what his problem may be.

Uh, overfeeding, perhaps?
