I think chris has pretty much covered it. If you wanted to try and generate plenty of fry, I’d get a series of tanks (I have 5 waiting) & transfer a couple males and 4 females to them & let them spawn. Then remove the adults back to the main tank (or on to the next tank. I’ve done this once with a 3 tank set up & was getting around 20-30 fry each time but it was time consuming (having to keep a close eye)
Ah, thanks for the tip. I’ll be stocking flame ember tetras as well. It’ll make the tank look fantastic. So when i do intend to seriously breed them, I introduced 2 males and 4 females to a 10 gallon? Right
with java moss and etc. :lol:By the way, wanted to ask.
how do you care for the eggs, or frys?
Thanks for all the replies guys!
I’m planning to get a BIGGER tank. A oceanic Bio Cube 14 Gallon. That will definitely work.
. All i ask is if you guys can answer all of my questions below.1. Will they breed randomly in whatever pH? My pH is 7.6
2. Can I choose when and not to breed them?
3. How many babies if I get many of them to breed?
4. If I have this much CPD’s, do you think the adult CPD’s that aren’t spawning will most likely eat eggs that are coming out of a pair?
5. Can I add a breeder net or lee’s 5 way breeder inside the 14g nano cube?Will it work If i trap/isolate the parents/adults in the net so the eggs/frys will be safe?
6. IS 17 CPD’S…JUST WAY TOO MUCH?
7. Have you guys successfully sell them online? If so, what price?
8. Can you actually make good money if doing this?
9. Have you guys successfully shipped with no accidents or deaths?
10. Is this…really worth it?@Lasseter1113 wrote:
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.
I’ll be getting a 6 gallon nano cube…are there anyways to get the eggs safe if my CPD spawn?
