Breeding Neons ???

[iamurdad88]

Does anyone know how to breed neons ?

How can u tell a male from a female ?

Females get a fuller rounder body when well conditioned. Males remain more slender. If you hav a small tank with some moss in it with soft slightly acidic water you can spawn them. I have not done it but I hear it is a lot of hard work.

yes ive heard it was hard as well.
the only reason i wouldnt put them in a small tank is because i thought neons need a lot of room to swim around.

You can put them in there when a female is full of eggs and all the males chase her around. Then return them after the eggs have been laid.
