Thinking about trying to breed lemon tetras in the future, any advice on a good tank set up or any other advice any of you could give me?

I'd start here, as I have no idea how to breed anything other than livebearers.

Here's the abbreviated portion that pertains just to Tetra breeding:
SETTING UP THE BREEDING TANK: The breeding tank requirements are simple!
-A clean aquarium with the sides and back covered with black plastic, to shield out excess light. A 5-gallon tank will be suitable for most tetras.
-No gravel.
-A mature air driven sponge filter; preferably the style that sticks to the back of the tank with suction cups. Fry will tend to get trapped under filters that sit on the tank bottom.
-Java moss or artificial spawning mop on the tank’s bottom.
-A spawning mop or bushy plant that goes from the water’s surface to the bottom of the tank (optional but recommended).
-A tank heater set to a temperature in the high 70’s; preferably as warm or a few degrees warmer than the parent’s tank.
-A thermometer to monitor the water’s temperature.
-Tank cover (lid).
-Direct lighting is not recommended.
Hope this helps :22:
