Just been checking on the neons in the tank and well looks like four of the females are pregnant.Yessss time to get organised prospective babies my first ones.Can't wait.Got liquifry food plus breeding tank dunno what else am going to need am a first time breeder of neons.

Neon tetras are difficult to breed. I believe how you breed neons is to set up a separate cycled tank with a sponge filter, java moss, and marbles as a substrate, all in a dark corner of the house. The water should be slightly softer and slightly cooler than the main tank. They will not spawn in any water that is higher than 7. Acclimate a group of neons into the tank and keep it dark until night. They should spawn in the morning. After the females look skinnier about 24 hours later, remove them. The eggs are nearly invisible so you can't really see them. They should fall between the cracks of the marbles and in the moss where they will lie safely for 22-26 hours before they hatch. Make sure to buy them special fry food

Last time we ended up accidently with neons they laid the eggs under the slate hiding place we have in the tank.First we knew there was babies was when we spotted these tiny things darting about the tank.This time been watching them.As theres the dark hiding place under the slate and its surrounded by plants which they hang around in.Water isn't a prob as here in scotland we only have soft water.

That's cool that they bred for you in the main tank! You must be doing something right
