Neon Tetras

[Kurosakii]

I tried as hard as I could to look for subforums or forums for a section on this , but couln,t so here goes. How do you know if they're pregnant? And do the eggs stick on the sides or float?

I think they scatter the eggs around/on plants

The eggs are about the size of a grain of sand and practically invisable. This is why you can't have gravel or sand. The eggs fall at random and will be lost if fallen on any gravel. Once the spawning is over and the eggs are laid, the female should be removed first for she will eat them. The male will chase here around the yank to prevent this. Have plenty of brine shrimp ready for the offspring will hatch the next day or in 36 hours.

Here's a good webbie for you if you want to breed them: http/www.angelfire.com/tx3/aquariumpets/breedingneons.html

The water has to be extremely soft with a pH between 5 and 6, so they aren't gonna breed without special preparations
