Glolight Tetra Breeding Plan

I have a plan that I'm not sure if it will work or not, but I would like to try and get glolight tetra to breed "naturally" without moving them around into breeder tanks and without all the lights and magic I always read about. When I was a kid, my uncle had neon tetras that bred all by themselves in his tank. It was pretty cool! He didn't do anything special, they just decided to breed!

So I've read that tetra like to cast their eggs into fine leaved stem plants like rotala vietnam and cabomba, so my plan is simple... plant a bunch of these kinds of plants and throw the tetra in there (a dozen), and let them do their thing. In addition to the plants, I will give them a live meal of brine shrimp to get them in the mood (which may have been the unsuspected magic potion in my uncle's case), and I will rain in some cold water to top off the tank.

Any thoughts out there on my plan? I like the natural approach to things; so no plans that require chemicals or voodoo please. Thanks!

Authmal,

I already was thinking about the screen idea. The tank I was thinking of using is a very tall tank, so I could mesh it even halfway up and everyone would still have plenty of room to move around. I suppose I could mask off the bottom temporarily with a black cloth or something to limit the light that would sneak in for a few days while the eggs hatch. Before I do anything, I will just makes plenty of hiding places for the fry. I had already planned on that anyway. Thank you for the thought-provoking comments... I'm going to think on this some more before committing to any official plan for sure!

Cheers!
