Modern Angl Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I finally got 6 neon tetras and a bristlenose to cycle my tank(61x30x46cm, 80L). I've been watching the neons, and 2 of them seem to be acting a bit odd, they are chasing the other neon tetras away from one end of the tank, but tolerating each other there. Since I'm no expert in identifying the sexes of them, what is the chances its a mated pair? Could they have laid eggs? Only other thing I can think of is thats the end nearest the TV and they like to have a good view..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 They are egg scatterers and dont tend to pair up, They give no care to the eggs or young, so i think you might just have a few agressive neons however i have never seen that sought of behaviour in them.

Alan Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 You can sex them easily The boys have a straight blue line, the gurls have a bent one. Follows the curve of their fat tummies They love eating heir eggs, and the tank needs to be covered competely from ALL lite. So it really means you have to set up a special tank for them.
