Question

How do i know if my neon tetra is pregnant

Answer 1

Tetras lay eggs which are fertilized externally.  Because of this, you'll never know if they get pregnant-- they won't get pregnant!  If the female starts carrying eggs, you'll see her get wider around the abdomen, and probably become slightly less active, possibly enticing males into an area with a lot of plants to spawn.

Answer 2

The family Characidae (known as Characins), which includes the Tetra, is made up of about 1,500 species located mostly in South America and Africa. One of my favorite things about this hobby has been breeding different species of fish. I won’t get into the technical side of water chemistry. If you are new to breeding fish, you will want to start with one of the easier and more prolific species. If you have the tank space available, separate the males and the females for a week or two before the planned spawning. During this period of time, feed the fish very well with a variety dry, frozen, and if possible (though not absolutely necessary), live foods.
