My 4 cardinals sadly died, and as for them, i got 4 black neon tetras from the lfs.

I'm looking at them, and like they are huge. Two of them are really bigger than the other ones.

Are these Black neons pregnant? Already?

What should i do?

They are not pregnant. Tetras are egg scatterers, not live bearers...

i guess its possible they are pregnant...

could just be fat..

might wanna research about distinguishing males from females..

that would help narrow down the search to find out if theyre pregnant.. lol

The bigger ones are the females i think when in spawning conditions they get "plump"

Yep those are the females, and they look very plump.
