hi
danio eggs are very small white/opaque spheres
to raise the fry you need to keep them at 80-82f.
the eggs hatch in about 3 days and the fry live on the egg sac for aprox 2 days, then you need to feed infusoria for 7-10days. after that you can progress to crushed flakes and/or baby brine shrimp. at around 1 month you can feed daphnia and small bloodworms.
at around 2 months they should be of a size to eat just like any adult danio.

ohhh I found another one swimming in my tank!!

I put them both in a round glass bowl, with some plastic plant to hide in. The tem is staying in the high 79+ degrees, i am slowly getting it up to 81-82. Do I need to put an air stone in the bowl?? What about changing/adding water?

Do fry like it dark or light?

no you don't need an airstone right now.

change the water(50%) 10days after hatching
then weekly as you would normally.

I'd say a max 9hrs artificial light, although this is not nessacary.

good luck in raising them to adults.
