My aquarium has only these types of fish: Celestial Pearl Danios, Sundadanio Axelrodi and 2 Otocinclus. A couple of weeks ago, both my CPDs and Axelrodi blues exhibited spawning behavior. A day or 2 later, I noticed eggs in one my plants (Mayaca Fluviatilis). I assumed they would all be eaten by the fish in the tank. Much to my surprise, 8 days ago I noticed the first fry. I have at least 4 (they still swim in and near the plant), but they are still extremely small. So little is documented about the Axelrodis, that I am betting they are CPD. They are eating Hikari First Bites Fry food and going towards baby brine shrimp (although I am not certain they are eating them yet – the adults certainly are, though!)
At what point (if they survive) will they be big enough for me to identify?CPD at 7 Days old
CPD at 14 Days old
CPD at 21 Days old
CPD at 28 Days old
CPD at 35 Days old
CPD at 49 Days old
CPD at 56 Days old
CPD at 63 Days old
Thanks to Glenn Axt for these wonderful photos!
