	Pregnant Neon?

Neon tetras are not livebearers, so if the fish does drop some eggs, there won't be any young unless the eggs are fertilized by a male. Cut down on the feeding somewhat and see if the fish gets any thinner. Sometimes it is best to just not feed fish once a week, anyways. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
