I have 5 neon tetra and one looks like it could have eggs but i'm noy sure, can anyone show me a picture so i can compare please? and if it is should i put it in a breeding trap?
 
Tetra's are hard to breed, the eggs and fry are UV sensitive, in laymans terms light will kill them, in order to breed them you have to put them in a dark tank
 
It's difficult to tell males from females - normally the female is broader than the male, especially when she's egg laden.
 
I have a glo-lite tetra female that is about ready to spawn, im considering putting her and my best male into a tank and seeing what happens, i havent decided if its worth the effort or not yet seeing as how i can buy the fish at the lfs for under 2 bucks a peice
