bloated Neon Tetras

[walkytalky]

I have 3 tetras in a 5 gallon tank. But only one of them is extremely bloated. He/she has been like this for at least 1 month. Seems happy, still swims around, eats everything. I don't see any visable sores or scares on it.

My question is why is it bloated and how do you fix the problem? I know its just a Tetra but all the same. I've had them like 4 years now.

I also know that its not the greatest pic.

Seems to be a female full off eggs. Nothing to fix here.

That would be cool. But how long is the pregnancy?

Neons are not livebearers so it should take about a month or so before she lays her eggs.

Well /I today when I looked at it I was able to see thru her/him and saw no eggs. Could it be air?
