Two of my glowlight danios are acting sort of strange, I think they are breeding but I can't seem to find info on spawning behavior.

The fish are almost circling eachother, but with their body turned slightly sideways and also bent looking. It looks like they are dancing almost.

Both have more vibrant coloration, but look identical so I can't tell what their sex is. Just added them to the other danios about 5 days ago.

Any danio experts know what is going on?
 
I'd suggest you either have a pair spawning, or two males squaring up to each other. If the former, you could remove them to a spawning tank and try to breed them.
 
I have a good news and a bad news:

The good news are:the danios may be spawning(breeding) I hope that you have a lot plants in your tank.

The bad news are: they may be to males squaring(fighting).
 
I think they are probably two males, since they are the same size and both have bright coloration when they were doing this..

On the bright side, I just noticed a few small (less than 1 cm) fry hanging out in the rocks next to the glass!!! I don't know if they are from the zebras or glowlights, but I want to find out.

I want to put them in a fry trap, but how do I net them to put thm in it? They look so tiny and fragile. Should I wait until a water change and suck them up with the siphon maybe? I have four plants in a 10g, not heavily planted.
