Hello,


My Black Phantom Tetrais going to have babies :hyper: But I was wondering will I need to give the fry any speical food or are they ok to have the flakes which put in the tank for the other fish?
 
Is this the fish you posted a video of in your other post? If so, read my answer there- she is not going to have babies unless she spawns with a male. Even then, the eggs will almost certainly be eaten if she is in a community tank.

There is one type of tetra that practises internal fertilisation- the swordtail characin. With these fish the male fertilises the female internally and she later lay fertilised eggs that then hatch. But this is a weird and wonderful exception- the norm for tetras is that eggs have to be fertilised at spawning time.
