I have a set of black skirt tetras. Now, as they are egg layers, I have moved both the female and male to another tank, as i have been told she lays eggs, and he fertilizes them. I have searched for more info, but nothing has come up on here specificaly about the black skirt tetras. I was wondering, how long will she stay "pregnant" and what do I do after she lays the eggs? Do I need to have anythign specific for her to lay eggs on? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd leave the tank bottom bare but put in some breeding grass if you can.. and maybe a cave or new terra cotta pot to encourage them to breed in it. I'm not sure how long it takes her to lay eggs though. some hikari first bites on hand might be good for them along with a supply of BBS after a few days.
