| It would be a rare event I think frfnf, because I think they need quite specific water requirements to breed, as well as a long tank to swim in in order to spawn. I think they also need complete darkness in the tank in order for the eggs to hatch.
They are egg layers, and the eggs can be seen 'stuck' to ornaments, plants etc.
Just keep an eye on her, just in case she is not well and not pregnant at all, and see how she goes. | |

| Rare but you might be lucky! Keep an eye on her. Remember Neons are egglayers so they don't get pregnant  | |
