do glowfish eggs need to be fertilized after they have been layed

What kind of Glofish? There are different kinds of fish that now contain the glofish gene. Additionally, a lovely message on the official Glofish site reminds keepers that it is illegal to breed the fish. http://www.glofish.com/our-company/license-notice/

I did not breed them she just layed the eggs and i think the first questions awnser is the tetra the more skinny ones?

 

[aubrie]

but do they need to be fertilized ?

Doesn't matter if they do or not. Nobody will tell you how to successfully breed them without automatically admitting to breaching a NDA, or admitting to have in fact bred them illegally.

Don't expect an answer on a private forum such as this one.

Whether you actively tried to make them spawn or not, they still spawned and because they are actually a trademarked product you aren't legally supposed to raise the fry. . .

However, the ones you have are likely Danio rerio. You can look up how to breed those fish easily enough
But I wouldn't really bother with it. Just let nature do its thing and see what happens.

thank you tifftastic

I wouldn't put my hope up for accidental fry, though. There is rumors that the fish for sale are actively made sterile prior to shipping.

I've always wanted to find out if that was true or not, but don't really like GloFish enough to fork out the money for them. . .

If you want naturally fluorescent aquatic pets that readily multiply in captivity, you could always start a marine tank and get fluorescent corals ...
