Red Zebra Danios

Hi All

So I know its not difficult to breed these so I gave it a try and the result:



here they are about 4days old and there are 100's of them.

 

Nope these are not coloured, you do actually get them. My next batch I am planning to breed is normals and then I am going for whiteclouds.

 

They are actually the GM'ed ones Hein....

 

My bad thought you guys ment dyed...Yes they are GM.

 

Looking good, you must come and collect my Zebra's, they are ready to pop!

 

Looking awesome dude...

 

Update time

So these babies are now only growing rapidly, and I am starting to see light shades of pink/red colour in them. They are all healthy and eating well. I feed them liquifry no 1 and 3. In the morning they get liquifry no 3 and in the afternoon liquifry no 1. They also nibble on my flame and java moss. WC is 20% every second day.

I will post some pics soon, there are still too many to count:tongue:

 

wow.. you've done good boet!

 

Well done dude I hope you manage to grow them out completely...

 

Cool... If i may ask. how do you get them to breed??? Or not how do you get them to breed but how do you get the eggs to actually hatch?

Because mine have laid eggs 2 times already but the eggs never hatch... I do remove the parents after they laid the eggs but the eggs just don't hatch... I keep the tanks temp at a steady 25C and t i am using a corner box filter...

 

Well heres how I did it:

The tank was setup for a week, it is a 40lt planted nano, so planted you can bearly see the gravel.
I did 20% WC a day before I added the fish.I added 3 females with 2 males.
The next morning they spawned right after I gave them their morning meal. Becareful they do eat their own eggs, they are extreamly fast. That same afternoon before I fed them I took out the parents.
I thought at that stage the eggs were all eaten as I left them for the whole day in that tank, but after 24-48 hours the fry hatched and the babies stuck themselfs to the sides of the tank. Even after 4days they still hatch. I also used a corner filter but at low air, if the air is too strong they will be sucked in.
I run this setup at 22.5 - 24C.
HTH:smile1:

 

Thanks @mydummyname I must admit they are easy to breed and I feel proud.
@Lizid thanks dude, I will admit they are very hardy.

 

Thanks, after these are big I will be attempting normal zebra danios and then white clouds.

 

After some research i found out my eggs never hatched... It is because i have the leopard and zebra hybrids that are infertile...

 

Well if you'd like I will reserve some of these for you??

 

That would be cool... Would you PM me when they are ready to go??? Please...

 

Sure no prob..
