james_zy Fingerling Posts: 25 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jul-2004	I have 3 neon tetras, along with 1 cardinal tetra in a well planted 1000l aquarium. there are plenty of stones and bogwood, but is there anything else i can do to get them to breed. Obviosly, they may all me males or all females. and they r in a community aquarium, will that disscourage them. One final question, Can u tell males from females?
