breeding danios and glo fish - Aquarium Advice

chris127 · 07-01-2008, 11:59 PM

Hey guys. i was thinking about getting 2 red glo fish and 4 zebra danios (most likely long fin). would they breed since theyre both technically zebra danios? what kind of cool cross breed would this create?

I thought I read that many of the glo fish are sterile

ive read that theyre not sterile, but instead less prolific. i think it was that the males were 90% less fertile and females carried 50% less eggs. but i would aim for 2 female glo lights and more male zebras. (if i can get my LFS to sex them... :/)
