Neon Tetras Sick

[trinity_lee1]

Hi I have a 120 litre tank with 10 neon tetras, ciclids, platys, dwarf guerami's, corys and bristlenose and today I have noticed 2 of my tetras have lost the red on their backs and the one that the red has competely gone on has a slightly curved tail. I have looked online and wonder if this is 'neon tetra disease'? I have done a water test and all seems fine.

Should I remove the two fish to another tank? Is it likely they will die? Ive heard if it is that disease there is no treatment?

Any advise greatly appreciated.
Thx

PS weirdly they are both not behaving sick, they are still swimming around with other tetras

You should quarantine them for now, incase it's something serious.
Neon tetras are notorious for contracting diseases, many of them which can spread from fish to fish. There is, of course, the infamous "neon tetra disease" which is debatable as being an actual disease or just a name to cover up other unknown/undiagnosed conditions. So yes, please do remove him from the tank. From there on.... I don't know what to tell you.


I don't think there IS a treatment either.

Thanks Blitz, I have quarentined 3, they are still swimming and eating but with the obvious signs. I am getting very worried now though because my largest cichild (keyhole) seems to have lost some of it colour. It sounds awful but I would feel 1000 times worse if I lost this fish even though I love the neons too. I have no clue as what to do or where to go from here, do I treat the tank for something?? If so what?

I really need some help here, Im scared this 'disease' is gonna wipe out my tank, I might repost this again to see if I get anymore responses on the cichild than I did on the neons.

Thanks again for your advice.

Hmmmmm, did you cycle your tank?

Is it just an empty tank? [Just gravel, filter, heater. No Plants, no hide houses/caves. Tank is just gravel, filter, heater, and fish] If that's the case, that might mean they're stressed. A lot of times, people say:
"I put my fish in a white bucket, and they lost their color and turned almost white. What's wrong with them?" They're stressed. No where to hide, they're out in the open.
