1 of my 7 neon tetras that i bought a few weeks ago has lost alot of it colour and is swimming at an angle. It's separated from the other who all seem fine. Not sure if its neon tetra disease or not.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

What are your water parameters?

How often do you preform water changes?

It is normal for them to get stressed. Does it’s spine seem to be bent in any way?

Can you post another picture, the one you have already provided looks very white.

can you post a short video of the fish?

are the fish's eyes sticking out a bit?

The tanks is 40 litres I'll check in a second the water parameters. But its eyes have now started to bulge.

Bulging eyes and a faded blue line is a bacterial infection and needs treating immediately or it will spread to them all.

The water parameters are all fine. Did a water change anyways. Luckily i removed it this morning into basically a tub with some floating plants and some substrate. I will get some treatment asap.

Not sure about treatment, but I think colin might be on to something.
