[Fishy_Fun]

Please let me know.i plan on starting a breeding colony but would like to start them in a 5G or 10G.any info would be great.i already know they need cooler water and more alkaline water

For a 5 gallon, You can probably do 10 CPD's. For a 10 Gallon....Eh I would say up to 20 CPD's.

They do great in tropical temperatures ranging from 76 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit is fine;they should adjust;Same applies to the pH of your water. The usually prefer acidic however.If you are going to breed them, I suggest you use some java moss. The moss will be a great cover for eggs and fry. Good luck breeding Fishy_Fun! Because I'm doing the same thing you are doing! Within a few weeks.

20 celestial pearl danios in a 10 gallon is way to many. you could have 6.

5 gallons is to small for a school of CPD's

I agree, gonna be hard to make them spawn especially if water conditions fluctuate or overcrowding.

Probably 6-7 in a 10g. Don't know how Neon came up with 20.

CPD are only half inch fish, I'd do 10 in a 10g if they are the only fish. A 5 seems too small.

so im better off trying in the 10?And i heard they like more alkaline water.

bad link

I'd say that 6-7 is enough to breed, no reason to get more and risk overcrowding. They can reach an inch...

Sorry, I don't know how to fix it. celestialpearldanio.com is the site but the link doesn't work.

I had adults for over a year & they were only half that.

Yes they can breed at a slightly higher than 7 pH, I'm remebering ~7.4.
