Ben P. Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I would assume they would be the same as all other rainbows. Have you bred others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben P. Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Typically you will use a spawning mops, there are lots of videos online on how to make them. They will lay the eggs in a floating mop, pull the mop daily and remove the eggs. Put the eggs in a floating container with water and a drop of inch x in your tank you have the parents in. Wait for them to hatch, hatch time depends on species, not really sure on threadfin. After they hatch, feed sera micron or golden pearls. The real challenge is keeping the fry alive. Best source for me has been jadren aquatics on YouTube. He has videos on rainbow breeding and fry raising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The fry are tiny, they take forever to get decent size no matter how hard you try. Speaking from some experience with Pseudomeugil and Melanotaenia breeding rainbows takes a lot of patience, time and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
