Ive just gotten 2 leopard danio’s today, and im a little worried that its 1 female, and 1 male, as ive read that they breed rather fast, i have a 15L tank. Even though its only those two in there for now, i highly doubt it can house all the babies
The bigger one keeps chasing the little one around the tank, hopefully its because he’s a bully rather than hes trying to mate D;
Sorry for the bad quality pic, the little buggers are fast and didnt feel like posing :p
Hopefully you guys can help as you’ve more experience than me
Nice looking Leopards snowyowl88!
Like Tom said, they will just eat the eggs or any fry that are produced. That’s a common trait with fish that spawn by scattering their eggs and especially with Danios.
You will probably continue to have aggression problems where one fish picks on the other as long as you only have 2 fish. Danios are schooling fish and behave much better in groups… the more the merrier. If you have room in your tank, I’d suggest you get at least 4 more Leopards so you have a minimum of 6 fish.
I’m currently keeping about 20 different types of Danios. I normally keep them in groups of 6 to 12 fish, in ten gallon tanks with great success.
Best of luck with your new fish!
ps; I changed the subject of this post to make it clear that’s it’s about fish other than CPD’s.
