Problem with my tetras - read more?

Question

Well I have 4 neon tetras that I just got. (Will add more later on). Well I just realized I have 2 males and 2 females. Heh this becomes a problem, because I was wondering if they breed a lot? I have plenty of friends to give the tetras too but I'd rather not have them breed.

Answer 1

Neon Tetras require really specific parameters to breed so I don't think you will have to worry about that.  I love to watch Neons school around a tank.  15 gal perfect size for a healthy school and some life amazon sword plants for them to swim through.

Good Luck with the tank.

Answer 2

well i wouldnt worry about them breeding because

1) neon tetras hardly ever breed

2) your tank is way too small for them to breed and the stress alone will prohibit them from breeding. technically if you have 4 you should have 4 gallons of water for them, not 2.5.

and yeah, if you arent paying attention, then it IS your fault lol
