I have been reading that black skirt tetras are difficult to breed. That is not true of my aquarium! Approximately once every three weeks I find a tiny little baby hiding in the plants. My school of tetras started out as six and now I have 14 I am doing nothing to purposely breed these fish. Yet they keep having babies that survive! Has anyone else experienced this? Look closely at the larger picture and see how tiny this little newest baby is!

Hi and welcome to TFF... :hi:
Well, sometimes egglayers are doing well in a certain tank. Call it a blessing...

Oh yes! Absolutely it is a blessing! The reason I put that post up is because while I was researching the “miracle” occurring in my Aquarium, I only found articles on how difficult it is to breed Black Skirt Tetras and here I have them popping up every three weeks!
Thank you all for the warm welcome to TFF! I hope to learn much!
