Hello. I was wondering if anybody had any experience in breeding glowlight danios. I've read that they're harder to breed than other danio species. What are the specific conditions needed to breed? Any help would be much appreciated.

I've bred them and didn't find them any different to other danios. I just used the standard empty tank with mesh over the bottom for the eggs to fall through; no plants or mops. Before spawning I separated the males and females for a couple of weeks to condition them. The tap water in my part of the world comes straight from the ground, it has no chemicals added, and is ph7.5.

a 10 gallon clear out in a 2.5 gallon tank is only too lots water pass, or perhaps with having greater biofiltration ability, the intense pass cost will probable stress your fish in that tiny area--to no longer point out no longer having sufficient swimming room. Overstocking isn't in basic terms on the subject of bioload, its additionally with regard to the interest point of the fish in question and the kind of fish being saved, and albeit, you will desire to get an excellent better tank, as danios are very energetic swimmers. All fish sleep--they relax by ability of only form of soaring around at night. Bettas does no longer make good tank acquaintances with danios because of the fact: a million. danios are genuine living fish and inhabit a similar territory because of the fact the betta, and might stress him out. 2. 5 gallons is a few distance too small, in basic terms a betta would desire to pass in there. 3. The danios are aggressive eaters and might outcompete the betta for food. 4. Danios now and returned would be nippy, and would very nicely nip the bettas fins.

Yes Iam happy to say that I have breed golfish. I set up a tank used an underwater filter with several inches of rock. I put the female and 2 males in the night before. Darkened the tank till the early A.M. and just sat back and watched them. The males swam next to the female urging her to drop eggs. I took them all out 2 hours later and put them back in their tank. I got upset because my heater temp. kept going up and down and would not stay the same. 5 days later I decided that the eggs had baked and took half the water out and replaced with new. A couple hours after that I noticed fry swimming at the top. Also fry attached to the glass. I bet I threw out dozens of fry thinking that my eggs were bad. I have atleast 40 healthy fry now and this was very easy as far as breeding and care. Would and will do it again!

I have bred them and also found them to be no different than breeding zebras. Same type of set up and same easy results.
