Yet I have kept Cardinal tetras many times while looking down my nose at Neons. They were the first egg layers I ever had in my first 60cm/24 tank and I had not kept them since. I had not kept Neon tetras for almost 40 years. It shows a progress bar but when done it says the upload failed. Breeding expert John Robertson describes how he raised Neons one of the worlds most popular and recognisable tropical fish. The question if your fish is going to lay eggs is true because a pregnant neon. When a neon tetra is pregnant, it shows that the neon tetra will lay eggs as it shows signs in its belly as it will grow fast. 1 square size just off the bottom of the tank.Īttachments won't upload. However, the neon tetras are sensitive to the water conditions they live in as they can react with the temperature changes of the PH level. I am going to leave the bottom of the tank bare and place some "rigid" mesh of. Its placed on a shelf right above my computer monitor so that I can see the bottom of the tank and the neons as often as I want. So far I have it filled with about 7 gallons of RO water. They will spawn in the evening, generally laying between 130 and 500 eggs. Then ever-so-slightly increase the light levels to mimic that of the rising sun. Some say that light plays a vital role in inducing spawning. A separate breeding tank is important, and it must have stable water chemistry: a pH of 5.0 to 6.0, and very soft water of 3 to 5 dGH or below is essential. Now that we got all of that out of the way, it is time to breed your neons Select your breeding pair(s) and place them into their breeding tank. Someone who isn't me went to a garden store where the owner sells tropical fish and brought home 6 seller picked neons believing there are 3 male and 3 female.Īfter checking on them a few times a day for weeks and watching one of the females go from "fat" to "skinny" a couple of times I am not happy about not finding eggs which brings me to this post. Breeding cardinal tetras is challenging at best. A few weeks ago I was day dreaming about about breeding neon tetras for profit (on a fairly large scale so I could sell to LFS across the country).
