Points about spawning
Many people who keep Silvertip Tetras want to breed them. In breeding Silvertip Tetras, it is very important to distinguish between male and female Silvertip Tetras. To distinguish between male and female Silvertip Tetras, males have pale blue fins. Females tend to be more subdued with no blue on their fins.Once the male and female are confirmed to be in the aquarium, we begin preparing for spawning. Silvertip tetras are a species that uses a spawning method called scattering. The scattering type is a method of spawning over a wide area by laying eggs while swimming, instead of spawning all together on the aquatic plants. However, in the case of the scattering type, it is difficult to know when the eggs are laid and when they are laid, so if there is a female with a distended abdomen, move her to a spawning tank as soon as possible. If you have a female with a swollen belly, move her to a spawning tank as soon as possible to prevent her from accidentally eating the fry.
