Does Anyone Know

Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone has any useful tips on breeding glowlight tetras? I've had them lay eggs a couple of times in my old community tank (just after water change), but all the eggs got eaten before I could transfer them over. I have noticed the same white patches that appear on the tips of they're fins and the same behaviour as before but have had no eggs laid, would I be better off moving them to a sepperate tank to try and breed them in if so what conditions should I create to try to encourage them to spawn

I'd be inclined to ask this in the cyprinids section, you're likely to get more response.
I think you're right in saying it'd be best to put them in a separate tank, and maybe use floss or other as a way of catching the eggs before they can be eaten.
Have heard using marbles as a substrate means the eggs will drop down into them away from the parents' hungry mouths.
However, I've never bred tetra's, so....

Thanks for that I will try it!
