Alec Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I know these aren't the best pictures and it might be hard to tell, but is this neon pregnant? None of my other neons seem this round. I thought it might be sick at first but the color is super bright on it, so I'm not sure if a sickness is the correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Pregnant? No. Full of eggs? Possibly. Neon tetras are not live bearers so they don't get pregnant but the females are larger and more tear dropped shaped than the males. I've never tried breeding them myself but I do know breeders will feed them generously because they claim it'll make more full of eggs and conditioned to breed. Edit: She could also just be more greedy when it's feeding time. I have to be careful with a couple of my Cardinals because they'll balloon up before everyone is satisfied.
