Hi all.
My sister has 3 pink Danios (Glofish probably, 1 female and 2 male) and this morning the one male was chasing the female around like crazy. My sister is 100% convinced the female is much larger than she used to be. We will keep an eye on them to see if the female gets any bigger. We can't really afford setting up a breeding tank (she has a small pleco in her tank too) but we have a fish hatchery.
Is it possible for them to spawn in that? Do we put the male and female in there as soon as she's ready to lay eggs and hope the spawn?
I saw a youtube video of a guy using a piece of a mop for them so spawn in, can we do the same thing in the hatchery? It has a devider so the eggs fall through it and the parents can't get to them.
Thanks for the help and please don't start with the "glofish are wrong" thing. You try stopping a 12 year old from getting pink fish!
