Abstract
Hyphessobrycon eques is a famous fish for ornamental fish market and aquarium. They are inhabit in regions of Amazon and Paraguay River basin. Serpae fishs were investigated 2-3 males are chased to female, and then males attempted to simulate the females abdomen. After fertilization, eggs were kept in incubators at $28^{\circ}C$. The fertilized eggs had adhesive and demesal characteristics and had a mean diameter of $0.92{\pm}0.01mm$. Larvae hatched at 16 hrs post fertilization. The hatched larvae averaged $2.90{\pm}0.16mm$ in total length ($L_T$). Complete yolk sac resorption and mouth opening occurred on the third day post hatching. At 45 days post hatching, the larvae were $12.5{\pm}1.60mm$ $L_T$ and had reached the juvenile stage.
