Katherine Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I thought you guys might like to see what I caught one of my zebra danios doing this afternoon. She's taking a small bite off a chunk of repashy, moving a bit away and spitting it out. My best guess is that she's trying to prepare food for potential fry? Any other guesses? You can get a good look at her spitting it out on the left just past 20 seconds. https://youtu.be/Lh_0vy1CLAo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Zebra Danios don’t offer any parental care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Looks a lot like it's trying to eat, but biting off more than it can swallow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yeah, I've seen swordtails do this too, but I like your theory! They are trying to chew the food to to speak and then spit it out. I see my corys do it with some frozen foods also. I had one poor guy, he swallowed wrong and it went into his gills and freaked him out. He's doing ok though.
