Zebra Danio Ready For Spawning?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, i was advised to post here.

Take a look at these pics. My female danio has been rather round in the belly for a couple of months now! The male chases her most of the time in and out of the plants but nothing has happend yet. I am going tomake a spawning mop but wanted to know if she is ready yet.

These pics are not the best sorry. These fish are just so fast!

Sorry to Hijack but how well do Danios and Tetrats get on?
I remember having some and the danios did annoy the tetras somewhat

she looks pretty much ready to spawn but could be holding off due to other tank occupants. the best way i found so spawn egg scatterers like danios etc was in a seperate tank with a couple of floating mops and a couple on the tank floor then remove the parents when they lose interest as they will eat the eggs glass marbles on the floor of the tank is also a good tip as when they fall they go between them and cant be eaten.

I think danios must be seasonal spawners LOL mine are at it too.
I've 2 males and 4 females (1 male, 2 female each of zebras and leopards).
The males take on a gold-ish sheen when they are ready for mating.
For some reason both my makes liek to pick on the same female - poor girl.
Yesterday they chose my largest female leopard and they chased that poor girl tirelessly - I swear I got dizzy watching them. Overnight she must have reduced her belly by about 1/3 I'm guessing that that is partly in eggs laid and weight lost due to all the dashing and darting about.
Today, she gets a break, they've chosen the largest zebra instead.
I've never actually seen any eggs though, but I am fairly sure they have been laid as my corys seemed to be having a good chow down on something rather tasty this morning
