Breeding setup for egg scatterers

[gabor129]

Well I decided to breed my glow danios and my blue danios!

The glow danios I just want to see what happens when you breed different colours together!

However these blue danios I got from the states a few months ago, I never seen in Canada! They are metallic blue! I got two long finned males and a short finned female! Hopefully they going to breed and I am able to raise some fry!

So here is the setup I made! A 5.5 gal tank, and a mesh basket I made out of cross stitch mash, with very small zip ties !

I have this tank outside in a partly shaded area, but it will get full sun in the morning. Hopefully this will encourage green water growth and other things for the fry to eat!

Nicely done! Good and roomy. Craft mesh did a great job at keeping my tiger barb eggs from mom and dad. A few got stuck up on top of it, and sequentially got eaten, but enough made it through that I got plenty of babies from it.

My cherry barbs needed a large chunk of java moss before the ladies were comfortable enough to spawn, but the tiger barbs didn't require anything more than a fat, egg-heavy lady and an enthusiastic fellow.

Very nice Gabe . This setup should produce lots of fry , my one concern is that the fry will make their way back up through the mesh and get eaten . That is unless you remove the adults after you think they spawned .

Also I think your wasting your time with the glow danios . I think you will get either washed out colours or just drab looking danios. Just my opinion . Maybe you will see some interesting egg scatterers on the bus trip.
