Abstract: Studies on reproduction of Neon tetra were carried under controlled conditions. Neon tetra is a species popular for keeping in aquaria. It was established that spawners of this species produce viable gametes during a few (5–6) spawning periods only; later, although they get involved in reproduction viable issue cannot be obtained from them. From the breeding perspective fish of that species should be reproduced again shortly after the completed spawning and that time should be from 5 to 15 days. Excessively long keeping the fish between spawning periods results in a significant deterioration in quality of gametes expressed by the decreased number in obtained issue. It was shown that before spawning spawners should be kept in water at 22oC. The negative effect of keeping the reproducers in water at 25oC accumulated with time.
