I need help knowing if my zebra danio is having babies

Answer 1

Zebra danios are egglayers, so yours isn't having babies. The most she could be doing at this point is laying eggs, but this typically occurs in the morning. If you want to raise the fry, you'll need to move her and a male to a separate tank for spawning. The tank should have lots of marbles or large round stones at the bottom so the eggs can fall through where the adult fish can't get to them (otherwise they're eaten) once the eggs are laid, move the parents back to their regular tank. You'll need to make infusoria for the babies to eat as well. This link below will tell you about how to do that and everything else that goes with spawning.

Answer 2

Ideal for beginners, as they are prolific breeders. Zebra Danios are somewhat unique, as they are quite loyal to their chosen mate. Mated pairs remain together, and rarely spawn with others, even if one mate dies.

The breeding tank should be set up with shallow water, approximately six inches deep. Furnish the tank with fine-leafed plants or a spawning grid on the bottom. Course gravel works well, as the eggs will fall between the gravel pieces and will be protected from the adult fish, which will readily eat their own eggs.

Spawning requires temperatures of up to 78 degrees, and can be triggered by raising the water a couple of degrees near dawn, when spawning normally occurs. 300 to 500 eggs will be scattered across the bottom and on the plants. Remove breeders after spawning, as they will consume the young.

The fry will hatch in two days. They are very tiny, and can easily be lost when changing water, so take care when maintaining the grow-out tank. Feed the young commercially prepared fry food, or finely crushed dry foods. Powdered egg may also be added to the fry food to promote growth
I hope this helps

Answer 3

She's not having babies. The only fish that give birth are called livebearers: mollies, guppies, Endler's livebearers and platys.
Danios are egg scatterers. They swim and release the eggs into the water. The males fertilize them as they fall to the bottom of the tank.
Is the tank cycled? It sounds like ammonia or nitrite poisoning. Danios are very active and swim at the top in schools. What are your water parameters? I'd do a water change of up to 50% depending on the readings. The danio is sick, not pregnant.

Answer 4

they won't slot in a 10 gallon. the guideline is a million inch of finished grown fish according to gallon. Danios get approximately 2 inches long corys get 2-2.5 inches long so which you may want a 20 gallon tank. they're going to consume the eggs so which you will desire to place them in a diverse tank as quickly as they lay the eggs. they are stable fish and are elementary to look after.

Answer 5

Zebra danios lay eggs in the plants, but then will eat the eggs or babies once born, so you need to separate the eggs/babies ASAP.

Answer 6

There's nothing to do. Just let it happen. Be sure that you have plenty of plants for the babies to hide in so they all don't get eaten.

Answer 7

If you think she is having the babies you can all the vet & ask for advice they will probablly tell you to let her be & let it just happen. I would just keep an eye or her but if you are uncretain about something call your vet
