Can someone show me what a pregnant black neon tetra looks like?

Question

I'm not sure if mine is pregnant and I need some help.

Answer 1

well, they technicaly don't get pregnant, but they do carry eggs and just get a bit fatter. The best I could find on short notice is a group of black neons.

On this page there is a picture of 5 black neons. They fish in the upper right hand corner is a female and is probably carrying some eggs. They can get even heavier than this.

Hope this helps.

Black neons are difficult to breed, in fact most professional Florida Breeders have been unsuccessful in breeding them. I asy this to point out that you probably will not have black neons breeding in your aquarium.

When they do breed they are egg layers that do not take care of their young (kind of drop and run).
Here is a little info about this:

If you do want to give it a try here is more tetra breeding information:
Tetras are egg scatterers that do not tend their eggs or fry and so a separate spawning/fry tank is needed. Spawning occurs usually between pairs, although some species spawn in schools.

In most species there a few differences in appearance between males and females, however, when in spawning conditions, females will be noticeably plumper than males. To bring the adults into breeding condition, plenty of frozen foods should be included in the diet, and the water should be kept fairly soft, slightly acid and with blackwater extract added. Some species will spawn even in quite hard, alkaline water, but survival of fry in these conditions is usually very low.

The breeding tank should be dimly lit, with the water conditions outlined above and at a temperature of 26°C. Fine leaved plants or an artificial spawning mop should be used to collect the eggs. A bare bottom is recommended so that the tank can be kept very clean.

After spawning the parents should be removed. Depending on the species, the eggs take between 1 and 3 days to hatch. Very fine live foods, e.g. infusoria, are usually needed to raise the fry. Frequent feeding is important, as are daily water changes to keep water quality high.
