Will my neon tetras breed?

Question:

I bought 2 neon tetra's from a pet store the other day, and i want to get more because they are like 5$ each... (very expensive for a fish..) so i got 6 and i see 2 females and the rest are males and they are in a 10 gallon tank with 1 betta. There is alot of plants in it so if they do breed i think the fry would be able to survive. The water is at 78 degrees and its filtered. Help?

Answers:

In order to breed these fish the conditions have to be spot on, this means a low pH and conditioning with a wide range of live foods. The fish would have to be removed into a separate tank covered with a dark sheet, as the eggs are photosensitive.

No because the males outweigh the females and they will only breed if only 2 are in the tank.
