how do i tell if my neon tetra will have babies?

Question

plus what is the simplist way to stop my tank getting green and black grime on the sides

Answer 1

Neons don't have live babies like some other fish do, they lay eggs. A tank would have to be prepared to breed them and it's not the easiest fish around to breed. Here's a page about how to do that:

As for as the grime, that's probably just algae. Reduce the lighting some and be sure to do weekly water changes while cleaning the gravel well with a gravel siphon to prevent it from getting bad.

Answer 2

Highly unlikely that you will get neon babies. If they did drop eggs they'd be gobbled up in seconds.

Answer 3

I heart those fish...clean the tank regularily. The tetrra might get back or dark spots on its sides....That means its pregnant

Answer 4

When you see the female laying eggs, and the male fertilizing them.

That's when you know when you'll have baby Neons...
