Zebra Danio Breeding

[GodFan]

So my Moms tank must be doing well because we found like 20 zebra danio fry in the last water change. I put them in my 20 tall that is stocked with fry safe fish. Any suggestions?

"Fry-safe fish"? I'm not sure there are any except for particular fish who take care of their young.

I would be interested if anyone comes up with anything.

Snails would work. Maybe some tiny shrimp?

 

[GodFan]

No I need suggestions on how to care for the fry! I already have the "fry safe" fish. Pygmy cories, rcs and a cpo (well its not like hes gonna catch one lol)

 

[TheCrazyFishLady]

Oh! I thought you meant you wanted fry-safe. I'm sorry!

 

[GodFan]

Its all good lol

What are you feeding them?

 

[GodFan]

Crushed flake food. I think I forgot to feed them one day now ther eis only one left.....

 

[ocminpin]

I feed my fry crushed flakes/crisps and feed them every 4 hrs or so ...

Crush the flakes till it's powder.

I made a homemade fry container so I could keep better track of my Molly babies. I used a sherbet container, cut big holes in the sides, and stuck it down inside a knee high pantyhose. Then I hotglued two suction cups on it and stuck it in my tank up high. That way they can share the tank water. I left them in there a month. They're easier to feed that way too! Good luck!

 

[GodFan]

ummmm... I cant feed them every four hours lol my tank would crash and the snails would regain there hold on the territory lol

 

[ocminpin]

Okay... Well, it's like feeding a baby every few hours... More you feed them the healthier they are an faster they grow
I have my fry in a separate tank and have never raised in a main tank, so maybe my situation is different than yours

Im gonna try it in a former betta bowl.
