Tetra breeding ?

[doomiedee]

Are tetras bubblenesters or egg layers?

Egg layers, more specifically egg-scatters. They don't make a spawning site and guard the site

Oh ok one of my males is chasing around a female.

They'll eat the eggs anyways so don't expect any fry, unless u have thick vegetation or spawning mops or a net to keep the adults from reaching the eggs. U also need to feed the fry very tiny food like daphnia or microworms for the first week till they can take baby brine shrimps.

I knew that they eat the eggs. If their were any they probably got eaten by my sons pleco. I was just curious cause the last time I had a community tank fry would show up all the time but never seen any egg clutches.
