Danio fry day 3

Here is the largest fry- about 1/3" or so. I think being in the breeder box might be hindering its growth now. It's way too big to be eaten by the adults, unless they nip and tear it apart, and there are also lots of hiding spots but it will be next to impossible to keep track of it. The second pic shows the next largest fry below the larger one.

Here's my older fry, now starting to hang down lower, with the grownups, and on the other side of the tank from the youngins. Altogether I counted 19 fry today that are large enough not to be eaten by the parents. I'm so happy!!!

They just went for it I guess, and one day I found a bunch of fry on a water change and put them in the breeder basket. Then recently I decided the remaining ones were big enough and took the basket out, I could see behind it and found a bunch more fry! I guess if you feed them enough and have plants and hiding spots, a few survive. The parents (I have 5 male & 4 female adults) are constantly mating. 

Edit: also, live baby brine shrimp occasionally, but they aren't big enough to eat that for quite some time; and dry fry food.
