Celestial Pearl Danio Fry

[Cazgar]

I was just feeding my cory babies & glanced up at he tank with my Cpd's in & spotted a tiny fry on a leaf.
I did see the males dancing for the females the other day so thought there could be eggs, but doubted any would hatch.
The last lot of fry I had didn't make it, I think the parents got them.
I rushed to get my turkey baster & managed to get 3 fry so far.
I've put them in with the cory fry, so hopefully they'll do ok

Up to 5 now there probably are more, but they're so hard to see let alone catch!
Edit: I now have 11

Pretty cool. Would like to see some pics when they get a little bigger.

Very Cool!!!

Have you done anything special to get them to breed?

I would love it if mine would. I have put in a lot of flame moss and christmas moss in hopes that some day they will.

But, like you said they are pretty hard to see(I can only imagine). And, I'm as blind as a bat.

I haven't done anything special, they're in a tank of their own which I think helps
I did buy some more fine leaved plants, no idea what they are, but seemed to save the eggs better.
Managed to get a short vid of a couple this morning, look closely at the plant in the centre & you'll see them I hope.

How are the babies? What's the count?

 

[Cazgar]

They're just over a week old & doing well so far.
Don't know if I still have 11 as they're still hard to see, but I managed to count 8 earlier

Babies are doing well so far, think I still have 8
Found a single new born in the main tank yesterday, so he's been put in the cory tank too
