Hey Guys! , My Long finned gold danios spawned again yesterday morning, and I have just taken the parents out. The eggs have not yet hatched, but quite a bit of the eggs have gone bad.... This happened with the last spawn also and I still ended up with 30+ fry that are now a couple weeks old and doing GREAT! I just moved them to a 10g tank, with some cherry shrimp, and I do not believe I lost a single one!! I want to use this new clutch as a BAP submission, but I need to see how many hatch out first.
I DO know the reason for the egg loss, and that's because I have only 1 male with my female... Normally you have a reverse trio when breeding any species of danio as they lay constantly... up to every day. one male cant possibly fertilize THAT many eggs. even in such small quarters.
What do you think about entering this clutch?

As long as you end up with 10 healthy fry at 60 days your good to go.

yeah my tower is on the bottom shelf of my desk, and I kicked it by accident and it jammed the camera card reader IN the usb slot, and when I went to pull it out, it broke off... Doh!
