Crazy Danio!!

[schotgurrl]

I have a group of zebra/long tailed danios in my ten gallon tank. The zebra danio, which I think is a female b/c she looks VERY pregnant, constantly chases ALL the other fish in the aquarium, especially my little male guppy. She looks like she is gonna pop any day now and I have a net breeder but my female guppy is in it b/c she is pregnant also. Is this chasing a sign that the female wants/needs or own space or something? Should I get another net breeder and put her in it? Any advice would help! Thanks!:)

Danios aren't live bearers so unless a male fertilizes the eggs after she releases them there will be no fry.

I also noticed that when I had danios that they would pick on my guppies... I had to remove them eventually as it only got worse. I think it's more danio nature... the guppies kind of look like danios so the danios think that they can chase and nip the guppies like they do other danios.

get a skinny danio and a plumped danio in a net breeder, u might get eggs


danios are very easy to breed

get an extra small tank, put a layer of marbles on the buttom of the tank,get a plump female and male

wait a few days, and im sure u will see eggs in between the marbles

if u dont have nothing to hid the eggs from the danios, they will eat them

Make sure the eggs can fall down between the marbles so the danios cannot get to them or they will get munched on very fast...
