Danio fry!!!

I put my danios in the breeding tank a few days ago and hope they would spawn.
Because I saw no fry or eggs I removed them.

This morning I try to catch them and put them in the breeding tank because I really want them to spawn. The female was already in the breeding tank but I was struggeling to catch the male. He is really very fast and it is almost imposseble to catch him. So I went to the female in the breeding tank just to look at her. Then I saw a small danio:bigsmile:
I removed her very quickly and when I look at the closely I saw 2 other fry. Now I have 3 danio fry.

 

haha you must be super happy!! I know how difficult it is, I have tried myself to breed them!

 

It was very hard to catch them.
The male is VERY fast.
But I am glad that they have spawn.
I always want to spawn them. And now I have!!!

 

They actually spawn very often, the female just eats the eggs as the drop. that means your fry survived for 3 days without being eating. Whats your breeding tank made up of?

 

Actually its a 30 cm tank.
I called it my breeding tank because I use it for breeding fish like white clouds, danios ect...
Or I use it to put in betta fry which is much larger than the rest and nip at them.

 

Mmm thats cool. So whats your breeding tank made up of?

 

Congrats

99% likely you have had lots of eggs/fry before but the danios ate them.

 

I have read that a substrate of marbles works well. Apparently the eggs fall between the marbles and the parents can't get to them to eat them.
