Hard to tell anything from those pictures. As far as I know tetras are not livebearers, they are egg layers. Does it look like all the scales are popping out like a pine cone at all?

Lemon tetras are egg scatterers. Also, it's fairly easy to tell males from females. The bottom fin that's yellow and the clear fin behind it will have a thicker black line on the edge. Females have the black, but it's usually as thin as a pencil line...
