It has been awhile since my last post but I was wanting to let you guys know as with my killifish I use acriflavine with my danio eggs. This stuff as well as Methayne Blue don’t actually stop the eggs from turning bad. What they do is kill the fungus on the eggs that aren’t any good so that the fungus doesn’t spread to the good eggs. The only down side to Acriflavine is it turns your water yellow. It has been almost a year since my first post on here and I still haven’t gotten my hands on any CPD’s. As soon as I do I will return here and share my results from breeding. Btw, I do have about 1oooo glofish and counting. Those little fluorescent suckers are easy to breed as there cousins the zebra danio ( but they cost 5 times as much, go figure! ).
The answer is yes, they are always breeding anyways no matter where they are at, it is just like you said the breeding tank simply allows you to catch the eggs. I would suggest to anyone wanting to start breeding fish to go with the zebra danio first. They are a very hardy, very prolific species of fish which are easily bred. In fact if your community tank is well planted there is a good chance that one day you might wake up to find a few new editions to your tank. If you watch closely, especially in the morning you will see them chasing each other at the bottom of the tank. When the male finally does catch a female you will see them shimmer and shake side by side and them suddenly out of nowhere eggs will burst out all around the two fish. Then just as fast as they were created by the parents they are gobbled up by the parents or surrounding community fish. This is why it is important to use methods that keep the hungry parents out of reach of their newborn eggs. If anyone has anymore questions don’t hesitate to ask, I love every aspect of breeding and and taking care of these fish or any freshwater fish in general.
