Hi I dont know if this helps, but as far as i know all Tetras are egg layers. I dont think they are attached together, but would need to know what kind of tetra it is to make sure. Sandy

Jht,
Here is a link to tetra eggs, what they look like, if they are eggs, they are light sensative. Hope this helps. Congradulations on the babies and let us know if you got eggs. Sandy

Edit: Sorry forgot to add that they will eat the eggs if they are eggs.

JHT,
Sorry that you could not get to them in time, but there may still be some in there. I have tetras in my tank also, skirts and head and tail lights, i put marbles on the bottom so that if they drop any eggs, they will not be able to get to them for them to eat them. If an survive, you will notice that there are what looks to be slivers of glass attached to the side of the tank. I think they will not be free swimming for 3 days.

I was wondering if you could tell me if your tank is planted or not. The reason i am asking is i have head and tail lights that are trying to spawn but she has not dropped any egss yet. I have tried everything with them, even putting them in a spawning tank and have had no luck with it. I am hopeing that if i know what kind of tank environment yours are in i can try to match it for mine, it may do the trick for them.
Sandy
