Possible Black Skirts Breeding?

[ghostshrimp101]

i have 6 black skirt tetras i believe i have 3 females and 3 males. two of my larger fish to which i think are females seem to be getting fatter, ive cut down my food a bit but they still seem to be growing. i have also noticed my smaller bs which i think are males swimming beside the females doing a fluttering motion almost like courting behavior. is this possible? i know they are egg layers and when they spawn the males fertilize the eggs as they are dropping is this correct information i have read? what are some other things to look for if they are possibly getting ready to spawn?

Hi ghostshrimp101

Since I see your post going down the list too quickly I'll move your thread to Cyprinids, Characins and Atherinids where the tetra questions are usually answered.

I hope you do well with your black skirts.

hi.

yea sound like you have the tetra pregnant.
do you have a pic so we can see it
how old are your tetras

I have one cuestion to
I have 5 black skirt tetras and 1 white skirt tetra
is it posible to them to breed or do I need to get more white ones ?

my tetra are only about 6 months old at the most they are still pretty young. i will try and get a pic.
i would think that your tetras would breed from my understanding the white or gold skirt tetras are just a color morph.
