Breeding Zebra Danios
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
1- Place a coarse plastic mesh inside the breeding tank and the water level in the tank is adjusted so that the fish have about 5 centimetres to swim in. This ensures that they are unable to eat the eggs.
2 - Zebrafish reproduction depends strongly on photoperiod. Mating is initiated at the onset of light, and spawning typically takes place over a short period thereafter. Zebrafish can occasionally breed throughout the day.
3 - Zebrafish reach sexual maturity at the 3rd month of their development, the breeding fish should be between 7 and 18 months of age for maximum embryo production. An optimal breeding frequency for zebrafish is every 10 days.
4 - Keep and condition males and females danios in separate tanks with up to 8 females or 16 males per 40 litres tank. Feed the fish two three times per day.
5 - Transfer the males into the tank with the females at a ratio of 1 male to 2 females.
6 - Generally, they will spawn within 24 hours and you will see the base of the tank covered in small clear eggs. If they do not, leave them for another 24 hours.
7 - The embryos normally hatch after about 3 days of development but do not need to be fed until 4 days after fertilization. At that time, feed the larvae live microorganisms which can be prepared as an infusoria.
8 - Microworms are an excellent food for small fry, and are one of the easiest live foods to culture.
9 - When the baby fish have reached 21 days of age, they are ready to be transferred to a larger aquarium.

This is the best video footage i have seen of danios breeding by far , good job 👍
I gave away zebra danios a couple years ago because I wanted something different. A few days later I woke up to a tank full of tiny fish . I was so confused, at first I thought they were bugs lol. I rehomed 7 and ended up with 100 more Haha. I now have 13 giant danios but I plan on adding 10 zebra danios soon . I think they are beautiful little fish . And will school well with my others .

We're those danio's fry??
I went to get fish for my sons 10 gallon tank a few months ago and he wanted a few zebrafish so i got him 3 to start off with.. left the store and on the way home noticed a 4th tiny baby swimming around in the bag with them.. its been amazing watching him go from nothing but eye balls to where hes at just 2 months later (Idk if hes a male or female but I call him a male) my sons loved seeing his growth over the weeks hes at his moms to when I get him again.. we are now currently at 9 of them in a 20 gallon tank...

C. Kerns011 I have a 10 gallon with 4 right now but those fish have survived ~5 months in my turtle tank then I moved them to a 10 gallon with an algae eater and ghost shrimp and those stuff all died somehow but those danios are STILL ALIVE lol it’s crazy how hardy they are
This is a super-clear closeup video that shows thier tendancy to eat thie rown eggs lol! You can see one of the females eat eggs she just laid an instant before lol.

I too have a lot of zebra fishes in our pond. I thought that they were not so useful to be kept in the aquarium. After watching this, I literally will catch them and will put them in our dinning aquarium. Thanks for uploading this video.

What happen if we eat zebrafish ..to body any side effect
didn't even realise that they have little whiskers.
I like this fish cause they are small and swim so fast xD pretty colors too Now time to create a SWARM for the SWARM!
The best video iv eva seen super easy 😃so gna try it
It breed on my community tank and the parents killed all other fishes and now I have lots of fries quite happy
Never thought about using undergravel filter to separate them.
Here in Brazil we call the ''zebra danio'' as ''paulistinha'', because the colors of its stripes and the same stripes resemble the flag of the state of Sao Paulo, who was born in Sao paulo is called of paulista.

I can see that you’re from New Zealand. Is there any restrictions in which specie of fish you can have?
Hi! I just want to know if there’s pregnant fish in mine. Can you checked the video I post? It’s my first time having a fish so I don’t know if they are pregnant or not. It’s kinda confusing.
Super
Lovely

I was thinking they were baby Pygmy Cory's because they kept on just laying around on the bottom around the gravel. I vacuumed a bunch up while cleaning my tank, and syphoned them into a breeding cage attached to the tank. One of them is actively swimming already. And eating the particles from this insect food i have. The rest are still laying about, attaching themselves to the side of the breeding cage. I only have a ten gallon, so i'm pretty sure i'll be selling them, or giving them away to a friend.
I like tour video i have these Fishes in aquarium verte huppy
What camera did you used to shoot the breeding ?
I'm an armature fish keeper & my fish bed by accident. do you have any suggestions for a cheap setup?
my fish have been chasing each other around and kinda nipping. I don’t know if they just playing ( I’m not an expert 😂) does anyone know if they could be trying to breed please ?

Help me please! I have been breeding them for last two weeks but no results:(.I had separated the females for two weeks but this is the second attempt and they didn't lay any eggs .please help me

I don't know if you were successful or not but what worked for me is putting a tiny glass bowl full of java moss in the tank w a rock holding down the moss. The danios lay their eggs in there because it's more safe for them not to get eaten. But then you can take those eggs to a different tank
I though it was normal that they eat the egg after mating just like the betta fish
@Nemesis0513

Betta don’t always eat them, betta use their mouths to pick the eggs up and put them in their nests because they don’t have limbs and the nests are up at the water surface. Danios just don’t really care because they can produce so many young at a time and are much more active.
I work in a lab and have tried to work with zebrafish for the past two years and I'm out of ideas....I don't understand why they are so infrequent when it comes to breeding and surviving...I've just about given up on them.

@@joe3114 They are currently in a controlled room for humidity, temperature, 14 hour day and 8 hour night cycle with brine shrimp once a day with flake throughout and at 2:1 ratio as you mentioned but egg laying and survival seem to be erratic based on these last two years...we've gotten away from them recently and been mainly focused on mice which seem to breed quite well in comparison hahah but we have been dissecting tissues from adult zebrafish but I was just informed a few minutes ago that there was a random ammonia spike in the one tank over the weekend and just killed 5 of our fish which is not good since they were the right age for us to dissect. not sure why...
