I know I have tetra for sure but what are the other kinds? When they breed do they lay eggs or what? Also when is it mature enough to breed?

Answer 1

OK I hate to weigh in a question that has gotten so many answers but there is one missing from everyone list( well of the one who have it right) so this is my list( and I absolutely positive)

neon tetras
glow light tetras
cherry barbs(not a tetra and you shouldn't have too much trouble as they are the least aggressive of all the barbs)
(and the one folks missed) harlequin rasboras

And just a piece of friendly advice, add a background sheet(particularly a one that looks planted and green) would help enhance the look and color of your fish

Answer 2

You have neon tetras(the blue ones with red done their stomach), glo-light tetras (the yellowish orangish ones which usually grow like a quarter or so of an inch more then a tetra will), and cherry barbs (the red or brown ones with the dark brown stripe down their side. They will become aggressive and nip fins if your tank is to small and not planted.) The tetras are relatively harder to breed then glo-lights are. They usually breed is soft acidic water and will lay their eggs on plants. It is difficult to sex them so you would should have a few (about 5) if you want to breed them. Glo-light females are usually bigger then males, though. The cherry barbs are also egg-layers and they will also lay their eggs on plants. The females are usually brown and the males red. They are all best bred in a tank by themselves.

Answer 3

The fish are neon tetras (the blue and red striped ones), glowlight tetras (the orange and translucent ones) and cherry barbs (the thin reddish ones with the stripe down the side).
They are egg layers. Incidentally, it is really tough to hatch eggs if you are a casual aquarium owner.

Answer 4

Aren't they all tetras? I can't see any fish in there that looks significantly different from the others.

Most fish do lay eggs, however some give live birth. However, most fish don't breed very well in captivity, so you probably won't have to deal with that problem.

Answer 5

these are the fish that i think you have:
- cherry barb (i think it is a tetra)
- white clouds
- neon ttras
- glow lite tetras

and they lay eggs and you need to do alot of things for some of those tetras to breed, but for the red ones and the orange ones just have more than 5 and lots of plants(bushy) and they should breed for you.

Answer 6

those redish looking fish are cherry barbs (male)..
the females are the like the males except with that beige color and they're larger... they can breed when the females are round and plump. If you want to breed them, Move the males and females to a separate tank and clean water... That'll stimulate them to spawn.. the females will scatter the eggs onto the gravel. When they're done, move them back to the community tank... the eggs will hatch in 2-3 days.

Answer 7

looks like you have some kribensis in there!!! one of the shots looks like there's a "glass fish" and the other shot looks like you have some neon guppies. you need to get some better pics posted. if they're kribensis, they're going to be very territorial, and they're the kind that lay eggs, but the female gets really swelled in the belly just before she lays them. the tetras i believe do the bubble nests, like the betas, and if that's what you have, you should separate the species. they're not really social fish. hope this helped you!

Answer 8

they look like blood red, glolight and neon tetras! THey lay eggs. when they do lay eggs they eat teh eggs, so if you want to keep them then take out all adult tetras.
