TheSwissAquarist Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Zebra danios have hatched! And the Palaeatus Cory fry have been moved into a shrimp tank to grow out. All this fish breeding is making me feel pretty elated - I’m tempted to give my tetras another shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Danios day 2 of life… Caught my tetras flaring this morning, but the baby danios are occupying the breeding tank…so i can’t really complain. P.S. They’re impossible to catch! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way its a stunning fish, a school of 30+ of those guys in a big planted 75, that would be super cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Danios say hi: I didn’t realize how many there actually were until I had to catch them out to make way for some tetras. it’s also the annual cow parade. Time for the street to get plastered in turds 💩! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chemistry teacher says she’s gonna take some, and I asked at an LFS yesterday and I expect that they’ll take the rest. I’ll probably keep 20 or so for my display. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Popped over to a LFS to get an Assassin snail to deal with ramshorns. They’ve slashed the prices on a group of L134 Leopard frogs (It’s what they’re calling them, I think they’re a bit closer to L333 Queen Arabesque Pleco). 250 Swiss Franks is still a bit outta my price range - maybe the danios will help me get there. Speaking of danios… they’ve started on the BBS, and are as cute as ever. I’ve also added a bit of peat to the breeding tank, complete with some wild terrestrial moss from the woods behind my house. Mountain moss is nice and tufty and perfect for spawning. I’ve gorged my Glowlight tetras on BBS for the past couple of days, and have added 1M 2F to the tank. Stay tuned! Spare pic of my new desktop shrimp tank. Admittedly it’s not as cool as @wes.crocketts 3D printed deco tank, but it’s fun. 😊 Stay fishy Nerms! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
