Breeding Process Well, the answer is obviously no. Because Neon Tetra and Guppy have similar characteristics and originally belong to the same place, these fish are from different species, orders, and families.

Guppies have flowing fins and thats a HUGE no-no with u black sirt tetras. They will kill anythng if they feel stressed or overwhelmed.

If you like, you can keep live birthing fish like guppies, mollies and platys together with glow light tetra in a common aquarium. You should take care when creating fish communities that the species are mainly from the same continent and a similar landscape.

The general rule of thumb is one gallon per one inch of fish. Therefore, in a 5-gallon fish tank, you can add 5 inches worth of guppies. More precisely, you can keep three males in an aquarium of this size. When it comes to females, you may keep two, but experienced people can push for three.

Unknown to most people, Guppies can sometime make great tank mates for Angelfish. If you plan to keep these fish together, you should introduce them while the Angelfish are young and small. This way, your Angelfish will see the Guppies as tank mates instead of food.

Yes, neon tetra will eat anything that will fit in their mouth. Neon tetra will randomly eat things present in the tank if it fits their mouth and even if it is a guppy fry. They cannot distinguish food from guppy fry or anything in the tank.

For a 10-gallon tank, 6 Neon Tetras and 3 guppies will be more than enough. If you’re planning to raise guppy fish fry, get a separate fish tank for them because they will not be able to survive in a 10-gallon tank with so many other fish.

The short answer is yes, all tetras are micropredators and most will eat fry when they find them. There are only a few that aren’t known to eat fry, but neons aren’t one of them.

Mollies and neon tetras can live together in the same tank, since both species share similar tank requirements, including temperature and pH. Also, their minimal size differences and docile temperament are likely to prevent all sorts of hostility.

Mollies and neon tetras can live together. Mollies are often included in lists of the most compatible tankmates for neon tetras. Although both species are entirely peaceful, some mollies and neon tetras have been known to manifest aggressive tendencies.

Do Neon Tetras Eat Their Babies? The short answer to this is yes. Immediately you can see the eggs, remove the adult tetras from the breeding tank; otherwise, they will eat the eggs. So, they may not survive if you put them together with adults immediately they hatch.

Even the smallest tetras are capable of producing several dozen eggs in one spawning attempt. When large groups are kept together for spawning, not all of the fish are actively involved. If the fish are engaged in courting (or even spawning) in the community tank, then they are ready to breed in the spawning tank also.

Although these neon tetras carry yet to be fertilized egg meaning unfertilized eggs inside them, these eggs can stay inside neon tetra for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of pregnancy when they finish courting after the male impresses her, she lays and scatters eggs.

Tetras do have some differences between sexes, which vary based on the species. The females are a bit larger and plumper than males. Males are often more vibrantly colored and may have longer fins than their female counterparts.
