Participantmost egg rearing/spawning tanks should have minimal or no gravel and a sponge filter. If the sponge filter is aged, there will be, as a bonus, some micro-organisims inhabiting it for when the fry become free swimming…plus no worries about fry getting sucked out…plus they’re cheap filters!

Participantcelestialdude…the only fish I would worry about is the Chinese algae eater. They are supposed to eat very little algae as they mature…I would trade him for Otocinclus sp. who are pretty strict herbivores and more peaceful. That being said, the parents and the guppy would probably eat the eggs as well if they can find them…I would refer to some of the Zebra danio breeding tips for general advice until more people become experienced…

ParticipantGreat pics!
Would you please post the details of your breeding tank? Temp, pH, plants, substrate, etc.fishcop444
ParticipantThis link is to the “scientific description” of the species, which is how species are named and biologically categorized. I would suggest that this be made an essential reading for anyone interested in the species since it answers many of the biological questions.
