Rummy nose tetras
Thought I saw something small swimming around my large sword plant the other day and then it vanished.
Did a clean of the tank today and a water change and found about 10 small rummy noses about 5-10mm in length. I have a schoal of abut 30 of them and I know for fact I hadn't introduced any that small so they must be babies!
I never expected to see them breed nor have I tried and doubt very much if I could do it again either if I did try, just very surprised

My rummy noses always seem to be frisky early in the morning their mating behaviour is interesting - a bit of an orgy! three or more boys chasing one girl then they writh together...
I haven't seen any babies though - i guess they'd get eaten pretty quick in my community tank!
congrats on your breeding success

Congratulations on the new additions. I'd certainly love my rummies to breed like that. Got any photos of your new babies?
