on the 19/6/12,i posted a question about one of my neons having a bulge in her stomache.since then she has just got bigger and bigger! i know dropsy is more of a symptom of something else and not itself an actual disese.but i would like to know if there is anything i can or should do? she is huge! she still swims around with the other tetras,no problems with bouoncy(soz,horrible word,dont think i spelt it right) still eating,doesnt seem to show any signs of being ill? could someone please just give me a little advice,thanks.all readings are fine, ammonia 0,nitrite 0,nitrate 5,pH 6.8

Are any of her scales raised (looks like a pinecone especially viewed from above)? If not, it's probably not dropsy, especially as she seems well. More likely she's full of eggs. A pic might help if you can?

It does sound more like she's egg-bouns. There's not much you can do for that really.
