Hi, I am hoping someone can help me diagnose my fish's problem. It's a male Red Neon Blue Eyed Rainbow fish. He has a bloated belly, and his back seems bent, but his color is still good, and he doesn't seem lethargic. Does this look like a digestion problem, or some kind of bacterial infection?

If it's always been that way, I'd lean toward some kind of deformity. If it's coming on suddenly, it could be a blocked intestine. I haven't seen it in neon's before, but definitely has happened to me in other species. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do. Medications for ick and surface infections work pretty well, but internal ones are more wait-and-see.Comment

I think one of my black neons had a similar issue a while back. At the time, it was over 4 years old so I thought it may have been spinal degeneration. It was in a community tank, and thinking it was a physical issue, I didn't bother quarantining it.
But, for the heck of it, in case it was something like bladder disease in bettas, I cut back on feeding and after about 2-3 weeks, the condition went away. Not sure if your fish has the same condition, but that's what happened in my case.Comment

Weird, but also good news that it went away after cutting back! I will have to remember that.Comment
