What Do I Do? Neon Tetra Pregnant

[leah30]

Hi all,

I am quite new to fish keeping, one of my neon tetras is pregnant I dont have the option of putting her in a seperate tank, i was thinking of putting her in one of them breeding boxes with a fern in the bottom of it. Would this be ok and do I need to put a male in with her. I already have a breeding box in there with 12 baby mollies (my first babies, so cute) any advice would be really appreciated as to what to do here.

Thanks all.

Leah

Neons dont give birth to live young, they scatter eggs and the male fertilises them. Just leave her alone as moving can cause stress and death to small fish. She will fill with eggs every couple of weeks or so.
