how do the males fertilize the eggs if they go through the mesh or do they fertilize them as they chase around the female and as the eggs drop out of her?
wow you made that look incredibly easy. I got a free 40 gallon tank, I’m putting my fish from my 10 gallon into it. I have 5 danios, only schooling fish I have so I was going to try and attempt to do this so I can get a sweet school going. Instead of buying them just reproduce!
Excellent vid! They grow so quickly! How long on average does it take for a danio egg to hatch?
How do u tell the male from the female? Pls reply.Thank You !
how big are the eggs? and also how do the males fertilize the eggs,as in, do the males need to fertilize the eggs a soon as they come out of the female or do they have to be kept under the mesh for a bit and then let the males fertilize the eggs or something coz im not sure???
how is the male supposed to fertillise the egg if it goes fown the mesh?
what do u feed the fry
how many litres should i use for a breeding tank for zebra danios would 15 litres be enough for 2 danios?
@LilKolo523 if the adults can get to them they will eat the egg’s and the fry
@Sabanaseer it acult cross stitch mesh i dnt know what country ur from but i got mine from spotlight 🙂
very impressive!
Hi, very nice video, can you please tell me where did you get the mesh from and what is the material called ?
Will the adults eat the fry or only the eggs?
@desparza28 Its an Anubias nana. I just used the rock it was attached on to hold the mesh down.
do you think this method could work with neon or lemon tetras cause i wanna try to breed them
what kind of plants do you have in there?
@zorzay22 Not as far as I know. As long as you keep the water warm they should be ready to go all year.
Do they have a specific time of year they breed?
@Hydroars thank heaps just one more question how big do they need to be before u can condition them. if it helps i have a video of mine its the updated one thanks again
@sickdude0123 Sexing them isnt all that hard. Just start feeding them a lot of brine shrimp or blood worms and look for the ones with growing bellies, those are the females. You will see, its pretty obvious. The males will also get a little golden on their ventral side. Once you think you identified a female seperate her, if you dont she will spawn with the males and lose her belly, so that can get confusing.
Hi i dont hae 2 tank so i bought a breeding net… So i put some marbles in the bottem… And put my pair in there yesterday… And she is still fat.. What now????
great vid very impressed im going to use this method when i go to breed my zebra danios. any good tips on sexing them
5/5
@ChocolateGummie The holes are pretty small i guess. They just need to be small enough to keep the adult fish from swimming through. So whatever looks like it will work.
Do you get the mesh material with the larger holes or the really small holes at Micheals? Great video by the way! Awesome Job, totally gonna try this. =3
@MrGlitchGlitchGlitch …….what? Im not sure exactly what you are asking. Conditioned males + conditioned females = fertilized eggs. The females arent ever pregnant, they always have eggs. You just need to get them to lay them. Just follow my vid man.
