-Zebrafish are one of the easiest egg laying fish that you
can pair on your own.Now,what you need is a 2-3 male danios and 1 female danio
witch is full with eggs.You can see which one is male and which one is female
by the belly,the female ones are much fatter because they are usually filled
with eggs,and the male danios are slimmer and longer.Now the size of the
breeding tank doesn't need to be huge,at 3-4 centimeters from the bottom put a
net that will be wide as the tank,and make sure that the adult danios can't go
under the net,because after the eggs fall through the net the adults will try
to get down there and eat the eggs.Put a light.The night that you put your
breeding danios in the breeding tank feed them with food with high level of
proteins.I would suggest the egg yolk!Put smashed egg yolk so they can eat
it.Now the next morning after you turn the light on,eventually they will start
spawning and lots of eggs will be released and they will fall through the
net.If you don't see eggs leave them for another day in the breeding tank,but
if there aren't any eggs the next morning again then put them again in the main
tank until the female is larger.Now,if there are eggs,carefully remove the
adults and the net that you put in the tank.After 1 day you fill be able to see which one of the
eggs are fertilazed and which one of them are not(the clear ones are succesfully
fertilized ,the cloudy ones are non fertilized).Remove the ones that are non
fertilized.Now,after a few days (depends on water temperature),little tiny danio fry will start
climbing on the sides of the tank,and after a few more days the fry will start
swimming on their own.And that is the time to start feeding the fry.More information
about the feeding on this link -> .When
the fry is bigger and collored,you can
put a filter to clean the water in the tank,also it’s recommended to place a heater on 24*C. And that is it.If
you have any questions feel free to comment,I will answer.
