Pregnant Glowlight

How long does it take for a Glowlight once pregnant to lay her spawn.

Assuming you are talking about Glowlight Danio, they don't get pregnant, they are an egg-scatterer species. She will become gravid (ie full of unfertlilised eggs). At this point, she will scatter the eggs, and the male will fertilise them within a few hours. Generally, they will then eat the eggs.

And if your fish are glowlight tetras, the same thing applies

Thanks guys

Yeah but how long until they start scaterring the eggs

That's a "piece of string" question, it depends on a number of factors. If you are actively trying to breed them, there are a few things you can do to stimulate spawning. If you aren't, then the chances of you actually getting any fry are fairly slim, although not unheard of.
