As is the way with some things, as soon as you stop trying you succeed ha.
I have been trying to breed neon these tetra for the past few weeks. Feeding bbs, pairing off at night with a slight temperature drop, into slightly softer water etc... no use. I think they found the move and netting stressful and so no luck.
I thought Iād give up for a while, go back to normal food and let them shoal in the community tan. Plan was to leave them alone in the stable tank for a few months and then maybe try again.
They had other ideas. So now I have a load of eggs hidden in the gravel and around the Valiās. Thought about trying to syphon a few out but Iāve decided to leave them to it and see if any survive! Tank should have plenty of life for the wrigglers if any make it that far and I have microworms in the shed for the next step etc. I might get another ball of Java moss to help them out at the weekend if there is any sign of life.
Donāt think I caught any releases on camera but had a go and got some of the cool behaviour!
Any tips on increasing survival without removing them would be great, although I know chances are slim.
