Alright, I have a problem.

First off, yes the tetra situation in my sig is temporary. I had a school, but long story short, that's how it is.

The problem now is that one of the tetras seems to be pregnant?

While for many people this would require separating them, special fry attention, etc., I'm new to fish. I really don't want fry. And last time I checked there's no such thing as fish abortion.

Is there anywhere I could put it or take it? I am not equipped to take care of a pregnant fish, or fry, so it's not just laziness that is driving this question. It is in the fishes best interest that they find a new home.

HELP. I live in Delaware if that helps, like if anyone would be willing to take them.

I will add photos of the fish tomorrow morning.
 
Tetras aren't livebearers, you dont need to worry, the females spend most of their life gravid (producing eggs) and then they just scatter them. By which time the other fish just hoover them up.
 
Ok, is it bad that I'm glad my betta will eat them? I really can't deal with fry. Thanks for the info.
