help with neon tetra

[rodgey_p]

i have a neon tetra. but have never seen them when they are breeding, or bred them before. does this look fatter than usual (see attachment)? it looks fatter in real life than on the photo.....what do the eggs look like?
many thanks

well just one tip the eggs are light-sensitive and do not develop unless darkened, so i suggest that when u recieve the eggs to shade the tank with a towel around the edges or tape newspaper, that is if you want them.

the tetra fry should hatch in about 36 hours at 80 degrees F
you might want to keep you tank shaded until the tetra fry are hatched and get about 3mm long. if you notice any of them stuck to the tank walls, u should remove the shading.
