Breeding tetras

How do I determine if a Red Eyed Tetra is a male or a female?

From what I understand- the female is more rounded(more plump) and the male is slender. Hope that helps.

Here's a helpful video ( not about sexing, but actually breeding)

the video says neon tetra, but i suppose most tetras are the same when it comes to breeding

hope i helped

Hey thanks for that video, that helped me... I'm still on my planning stage, and I need to either buy or determine the sex of some of the tetras that I have now.
