Guppysnail Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 These have been a someday fish for me for a long time. I finally picked up a group of 12 at my LFS last week. The tank they are in was a temporary hold for unpaired Laetacara curviceps. It’s ugly and needs cleaned. Goal today or tomorrow is to get these plants into tanks. Cold is kicking my butt though. These are just babies. This is what they look like as adults. They are close cousins of Danio margaritatus-CPD that I’ve bred for years. Once they grow up I should easily get lots of babies. I do wonder why they are called emerald because their stripes are royal blue???? New kids in ugly tank 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 I forgot how young danios start going at it. Added a bunch of pogo to the tank to fill it in yesterday. Today I saw the boys sparring. I put in a collection cup and they were checking it out the minute my hand left the tank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsquared Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 These are on my list too. I want to try to do an automatic egg collection setup for these and some CPDs someday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted Monday at 07:17 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:17 PM There are some bbs and shrimplettes in there that got sucked into the breeder net. Look near the bottom for the fry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
