	Bubble coming from tetras mouth?
momnc Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Feb-2003	I have a long fined black tetra that I've had 6 months or more and all of a sudden there is this clear thin looking bubble coming out of its mouth. It cannot even shut it's mouth all the way. It is eating and swimming fine. I looked under diseases and didn't see anything like it. Does anyone have any comments on what this is, what to do about it? 10 gallon with CAE, 2 bleeding heart tetras, 4 black tetras and 2 white tetras
