Girl fish?

Is this a female danio? If so is she ready to lay eggs?

Looks like eggs or she's bloated. How often do you feed?

We just got them yesterday. We've been feeding twice a day. Will we have babies? We have 5 of them.

It does look like a female, but unless you specifically setup to breed egg scattering fish like danios it is highly unlikely that you'll see any fry. Especially in an open setup.

I think she released the eggs last night. she doesn't look as round and they were down at the bottom of the tank this morning.

If they don't get eaten right away they should "glow" like the adults as the embryo develops, if they were fertilized.
