Title: Danio fry
Post by: soleil1980 on August 14, 2015, 03:39:09 PM
Hi,

I tried breeding zabra danios for the first time and to my surprise, it worked.  The fry are on a 5g alone.  Anything else I should do???

The parents are back in their regular home.  The 5g has filtration, barebottom and a few flotting plants and moss balls.

Congrats!

Once the fry are fee swimming feed them microworms to start and then baby brine shrimp. I can give you a starting culture of microworms if you need. Feed sparingly not to pollute the water but a few times a day. You can add some more floating plants to keep the water clean.  Sit back and enjoy  :)

I didn`t do much...  I cycled a 5g tank, barebottom.  I put a fake plastic plant and a window screen to seperate the tank in two (top and bottom part).  They are egg scatterers and they are very fond of eating their eggs.  Once the female releases her eggs, to male fertilize them.  The screen lets the eggs fall to the bottom of the tank but the fish can`t get through.  I put two females and a male in the tank (or what I was hoping were 2 females!) and 48 hours later I had fry.
