Zebra Danio Gravid

[darenshan54]

I don't have another tank, so what should i do to keep the egss/ fry safe, and to keep my water clean?

Zebra danios are egg layers and adults will eat their own eggs, so unless you can dedicate a seperate tank for breeding it's highly doubtful that any fry will hatch.

Move male and female into a seperate breeding tank with a layer of round marbles at the bottom. Both male and female should be conditioned on live foods and ready for spawning. This tank should be at least 10 gallons. Eggs will fall in between the marbles so parents can't eat them. Fry hatch within 36 hours and look like little white tadpoles against the glass. They become free swimming in 3 days. Adults should be removed directly after spawning to prevent consumption of eggs and/or fry.

Breeding info taken from the TFF index. [URL="http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=34996"]http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=34996[/URL]
