one of the local players went #8 in this years draft... there's some of us that are looking foward to a NHL club coming here... btw, I run a 30 gallon tank with 3 green barbs, 3 barilius and a pleco... what's in yours

What is the pop of Portland anyway? As long as you don't steal another Canadian team then you're welcome to join 
In my tank I have 7 adult zebra danios and about two dozen fry. They are starting to uncurl today so tomorrow they might swim and then be eaten 
I have about 15 goldfish in my pond, another died today, they are having some bad luck. I have an empty 10 gallon that I am cycling and heating up and then I hope to get some fancy guppies. I like to breed fish so I'm going to stick with the easy ones for now.

how exactly do you do it? do you have to isolate one breed from all the others? and how many of a breed do you use to mate? I've kind of wondered about breeding some of my fish, and actually could handle doing it right now (as far as time goes)... sorry about your pond fish... is it really early in their outdoor stage or have they been out for awhile? portland population is 530,000, but the metro area adds another 800,000 to a million (vancouver washington is right across the columbia river from us)... we're the biggest city in the us with only one major sports team (nba blazers... way too boring a sport for me) we'll probably get the montreal expos before we get an nhl club here, but I think this area would support a team... and marian hossa played here, as did his brother marcel

I have raised a few danio's from a similar situation. honestly when the fry are first born all you will see is eyes and the yolk sack. within a day you will be able to make out the tail. so by the time they are swimming around they will look like eyes with a tail.
the way I raised the few that I did is unconventional at best. when I noticed that the parents had spawned I would wait two and a half to three day and then use the gravel vacume to syphen the fry out of the tank. the idea is to get them befor they start swimming around. hopefully you have cleaned the gravel well the week befor you try to remove the fry. then I keep the water that I syphened out for about a week as I used a small container( about an ounce) to scoup them out and put them in a tank that I can raise them in.
I had a planted tank so it was easier to remove the fry that way than to try to catch the parents. I also raised some serpae tetras that way. they have a shorter time till free swimming so I had to syphen after about 36 hours

Riffless: I didn't even try to make my fish breed, I suppose that after living in PetSmart my conditions are much more ideal for breeding. I only have one species in the tank and there are seven on them in total. My first two fish bred about 5 hours after I put them in and my last three that I put in bred that night as well. So 4 out 7 fish have spawned in my tank so far. I have another crop of eggs waiting to become fry as well. I remember Hossa played in Portland now that you mention it. You guys could get the expos and the Ottawa Lynx (Montreal's farm team) because no one watches them here at all. But I hate baseball and basketball so I don't care at all :>
SnakeIce: I saw one swim around today but the other one's are still stationary. I have a dozen that have straightened out and about 10 more that are still curled. The problem is I have nowhere to move the fish right now!! I have another tank in the process of being cycled but the heater isn't working so it's like 18 degrees celcius (I need it at 24 at least!) and I can't move the tank to a warmer spot in my house as it is sharing the stand with my other fish tank (it has two levels). I am going to buy a heater holder for my other heater that will hopefully work tomorrow, and then I can try moving the adults, rather than the babies. I'm really scared to siphon them out. Some people claim that their danios have survived from fry to full grown with adults in the tank but it doesn't look promising in my tank! The adults are skimming the bottom waiting for one to slip up and become lunch! It'll seem funny if I succeed in keeping the adults and fry seperate. It'll look like I have an empty 23 gallon and then a 10 gallon with 7 adults. lol. People'll think I'm nuts.
Well.. all I can hope for is that the fry will hold off their swimming for another day and not become dinner for my danios.

I have seen in the past small containers that hang on the edge of the aquarium, in the same water, that would remove the necessity of maintaining two aquariums - at least in the meantime between it being fully set up. . .
perhaps you could find one large enough to hold all the adults, or one with holes small enough for the fry to not fit through.
just a thought.
