i've had the same 8 danios from day 1, 3 zleopard and 4zebra and one i'm not so sue of, pale blue with long fins, and recently one of my female leopard ones has been guarding a spot in the rocks very viciously from everything else in the tank. is it likely shes laid some eggs? i'm not sure about the breeding behaviour of them. a while ago there were some orangy eggs in the roots of one of my plants but these were eaten very quickly. is it likely these were danio eggs? they were tiny, like a full stop.
 
I dont know what colour danio eggs are so maybe a possibility. The one at the rocks is probably just being territorial as they dont guard eggs and will probably eat them.
The female scatters the eggs onto the substrate as the male fertilises them.
I have 9 danios and they do get aggressive with each other and other dither fish.
