The easiest way to sex Tetras is to look at their mid sections. Females will have MUCH larger stomachs than males. This isn't always practical however if you are dealing with young fish. If you can locate the swim bladder, the male's will be more pointed while the female's is rounder. To breed them, you will need to separate the fry from the parents or the fry will become food. The only situation where you might get some fry to live with the parents is in a spectacularly planted tank with a lot of hiding spots. Email me if you have any questions.
