I have 2 black tetras and 10 neons, 1 of each of these look to be pregnant (making 2), they have swollen bellies. 1 prefers to swim stationary (not moving around the tank much, the other continues to shole.
the tetras are kept in the same tank as many different fish including a guppie and mollies, coolie loaches and siamise elgie eater.
I have read up on breeding tetras and they suggest nilon mops, I don't have one, would something else work?
will I need to seperate the pregnant tetras from the rest of the tank or will I have to sepetate all the tetras from the rest?
I have never bred tetras and the last one I had, that I though was pregnant died years ago.
if I separate them will I need a new tank or will a dipped net work? (net suspended it the water)
Any help would be greatly apprisiciated, I don't want more of my fish to die, just because I didn't know what to do when they decided to beed.
