Hi all,
New here, looking for a little help... Came home tonight, fed the fish as usual, noticed that my 2 biggest Skirted or black widow tetras, were HUGE, They've almost doubled in width!!! The lil one (its a school of 3) looks normal... I'm taking a wild guess from reading, that he'd be a male.
They're currently sharing a 10 gallon with a pair of Albino Corys.
So my best guess is they're about to spawn (makes sense, They got moved to my 15 for a couple days over the weekend, then moved back due to heater failure (in the meantime the 10 got a 100% wc and a thorough cleaning))
What should I be doing? I'd like to give bringing up the spawn a whirl, but I can't seem to find as much info on tetras as I can on other species (angels come to mind) About all I've found is the parents will think the eggs are caviar, a tasty treat...
Suggestions? links?
Andy
