- Hi guys. On this video I'll be showing you how to breed zebra danios.
I'll be taking you through it step by step to free swimming fry. Join me and breed your own.Either to keep or for profit . A great way to enter the fantastic world of fish breeding..
I used to grow infusoria in a jar and then just pull some out with a syringe when I bred bettas. It worked really well! 😉 I just placed tank water in the jar, put like maybe some green beans (or something veggie lol), and then sat it in a window where sun would hit it. Usually took about a week at least for the infusion to develope. But before collecting I would sit a flashlight next to the jar because they're attached to the light. Once they're all in one area you can easily suck them up. 😋 I hope this helps you people! 💖
Thanks will try this as well
Thanks!!
Re-aquainted with aquatics after 50+ yrs and this video has been amazing .. thank you .. have subscribed, and look forward to lots more info and tips
Awesome, thank you!
I'm going to try this properly, I accidentally raised a load of danio when I did a water change and saw lots of tiny little chaps stuck to the sides of my bucket. Bunged them in a spare tank and there's about 20 adults in there now. I struggled to feed them with hatching BBS so will definitely try the infusoria. Cheers Mark.
Now this is a straight forward video that tells you exactly what to do instead of talking about bull shit
Really appreciate the breeding series, Mark. Achieved success with Zebra danios based on your recommendations. Keep it coming!!
Great video Mark! I have 5 males and 5 females in a 22 gallon and every female is robust. I am moving a pair into a breeding tank tonight! I will get back to you tomorrow when they breed!
I hope your back is doing better.
Loving the new series. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Great, I was planning on giving them a go in my unheated tank and this was the info I needed, thanks Mark!
Great video! Glad that you are feeling better. You have peaked my interest in zebra danios. I have been a guppy girl for years, maybe it is time for a change! I'll think about it!
All new to us & I'm just as excited as my babies!!!! So this is top atuff💖💖💖they made me buy another tank yesterday. Good thing cz I just watched this thus its required
Very Cool Mark!!! I love the idea for this new series. Don't forget to keep us updated on Jack's kids too.
Glad your back is getting better! Thanks for another informative video, I think I will give that a try!
Hi Mark! Great info. I have always like Zebra Danios and still have some. They are pretty, active and a lot of fun to keep!
Got my first fry because of you. Thanks brother!
looking forward to the series Mark, would love an in depth on the zebras plecos and plecos in general. Might have a crack at the danios for a bit of fun. Cheers for the video, glad the backs on the mend.
As always great to watch and learn.
After watching your videos I have now successfully bred and raised danios.... well I still have almost 30.. 40 juveniles despite gifting dozens to ma frens..... thank you... you are such an inspiration
Mark, another great video full of interest and practical information. I can sympathise with you and your bad back. It’s no fun.
Thanks for the video. It is really simple and helpful
Good to see your getting better thanks for another interesting vid.
Great introduction into breeding tropical fish 👍🏻 cheers Mark. Definitely gonna need a bigger fish room 🐟🐠🐡🐬🐙🦑🦀
Awsome video Mark keep them comming. Happy fishkeeping .
Really awesome video...I will definitely be trying this asap!!!! Thanks
really cool to watch :) I have Celestial Pearl Danios and they have been spawning in their aquarium like crazy - but I wasn't too interested in breeding them since I had enough of them in there and they naturally kept eating all of their fry and eggs. A couple of weeks ago it was crazy hot here and over night 8 of my 12 fish had died. Saw the remaining 4 in the morning gasping for air and put them in my shrimp cube :( Luckily I still have 2 males and 2 females so hopefully I will be able to restock them so to speak once their original tank has recycled.
Sorry to hear that. Now you can breed some more.😀
love this video I'm so glad your going back to thinks from your childhood I recently got 2 zebra danios because one was put in by accident with another fish I bought so I sexed him and ended up buying him a female and I will try this out
Very interesting... Thanks Mark!
Awesome video..just pick up 6 Danios...love this video so informative...cant wait to have little fry...Cat Vancouver Island BC Canada😊
Great video thanks Mark. Sorry to hear your back has been playing up. All the best Barry
Thanks mate ...absolutely awesome video ..think I was lucky breeding them the first time I tried it a while ago..going to try it your way ..u made it entertaining to watch..
Just found you!! Liked and subbed. Great job! Thanks.
Another great video glad your backs getting better
Great video Mark. Glad you're feeling better and glad to see you in front of the camera again 👍 That's quite a bunch of babies good luck with them. Looking forward to the next video
Thanks for watching Maria.😀

That just makes me want to get a pair of fish and try it here,, I slowly building a fish room one tank at a time,, LOL
Great video mark
Excellent
Thanks for all the help I'm new to it and can't wait to start. I just want to found out how does a person know for sure when the female has eggs?
Marc...........It just gets better and better. ..........what a fantastic video can't wait for a follow up........like you my Dad had two ........24 × 12 × 15..........In the 70s ..........air driven box filters was the height of technology ( ohhh and if you used some "Charcoal " activated Carbon what's that)........you were a scientist. ...........haha.........It got me started..............keep up the Great Content..........Herm Boy...........
chris mc grath Thanks for watching Chris. 😀👍
Thanks for the good ideas, helped a lot
Thanks for watching.
thanks mark ,,love dannys
Brilliant
Awesome video bro, well done. Any chance on doing one on dwarf gourami's or angelfish?
great video
Very cool. thanks.
My glowlight danios spawned in the quarantine tank! The eggs are much larger than I expected! I found them under moss and siphoned them into a hob breeder box
Hi Mark. Loved the video. Very informative and helpful. I’m not sure if you still read comments on this video but I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. I’ve followed all of your steps and I’ve successfully bred my danios. I’ve noticed planaria hovering near my eggs. It’s day 2 now so they should all be hatching by now. I’m worried that the planaria will eat the eggs or newly hatched fry - do you have experience with this and should I be worried? Thank you. 🙂
So do you cover the tank with with something so it's proper dark? Then turn on the lights and they will spawn. What if you put 2 females and 1 male? I have lots of females in my 12-danio school, that's all I have in my 20 gallon just now, zebra & leopard mix,I have 2 3-half gallon tanks tho,one iz dry and one is still cycling can I add tap water with conditioner and that would be OK?
I've also read u can crush flakes t powder to feed them,is that so?
Wonderful video...please take it easy for awhile.
Hi Mark... I raise my own danio fry. It's something everyone should have fun with. It's so rewarding. Do you remove your parent fish at the end of the first day? I have left them for 2 days thinking they may not be finished. I probably have lost babies in doing that. 💦😁❤️💦 I really want to make that food. I hatch bbs for them but this is a great alternative!
Someone may have asked this already but when you set up the breeding tank and while raising the fry do you put a filter in it? Like a sponge filter?
Hi Mark. Would you use this method for other egg scatterers? I’ve just bought some Ticto barbs that I’d like to breed
Awesome video Mark! I have some zebra danios in my community tank. The little guys are expensive at the pet store, but if i breed my own, then i dont gotta worry about that haha! Im thinking my community tank is lookin a little dull... plus i already have a 10 gallon tank just taking up space... maybe ill start breeding them on thursday... get the 10g set up and ready tomorrow, then start thursday morning haha
Cheers Mark! Havent watched your videos in a while, but im finding i need to do something to destress my life, and this may just help.
Thanks for watching. Go and breed some some you'll really enjoy it. Then you can sell them. 👍😀
hey Mark, i totally failed at the infusoria culture thing haha! i didnt realize that you had to have the culture under light. it was tucked away behind my 10g tank and holy mother of todd does it smell. tossed it because it started molding and decaying beyond. i just finished building a tiny little 1L glass box that i will grow my culture in. im going to grab my daylight LED floodlight and give this another go :)
thank you 😊
Thanks bro
Do you get breeding in a larger 20 gallon tank with a school of them?
Your back feeling better??... I’ve never had danios, but I do like them. I actually had a pair of ballon mollies which paired for life.the female would chase off any males..and females.. he male wasn’t bothered so long as he was with the misses
I'm getting there.👍😀
Hi... I wonder if you can give me some advice? I have 2 Danios because that's all I was allowed at the time due to tank size. The smaller, slimmer of the two has been hovering around this little ornament for a few days now; I was worried it was depressed so I've just upgraded their tank, but now I'm worried, maybe they had eggs?
The gravel was black unfortunately, and I just tossed it out today because they're in their new tank. The other Danio is bigger and rounder and I suspect female. That one has been swimming around happy as larry, eating fine and occasionally swims behind the other and persuades it to swim (not aggressive or biting). Now they're in the bigger tank, the smaller hovering one seems like it doesn't know what to do. Swimming and exploring, but then sometimes just treading water.
I know in the wild male fish typically guard eggs and will go without food to do so.... Do you think it was depressed or guarding eggs?
Great video thanks for showing us.they are lovely fish.what is one of the pair of fish past away would the fish be by itself for the rest of its life or would it pair up with another one?wow spawning after how long of you having them?
They'll find a new partner 👍😀. I bought them the day before and they spawned the next day.
Can you do a video about breeding Sailfin mollies or just regular ones?
CANDY QUADS racing does this work for glofish zebra danios
Yea it works with glo fish danios there just genetically modified, same fish just the glo gene added, its illegal to sell or trade them tho, there's a Patten on them
Hi Mark! Have you tried breedi g pink danio to the gray danios? Or is it possible? Thanks for you answer!! :)
Great video very informative, do you have any experience with rainbow shiners I’ve got a group of 10 that I would like to breed but there’s not too much information on them, also how often can the danios breed, if you put them in the tank with no filter you obviously knew they were ready but how can you tell? Thanks
I've never bred them but I like a challenge.👍😀
So glad your back is on the mend but be careful, once you have a problem with your back it is so easy to put it out again.
How is the jellyfish tank doing?
Thanks John I'm being very careful .😀
Can you use an air stone on very low?
I did 😍
Will this method work for glowlight danios?
How can you tell the difference between male and female of this fish and when are they ready to spawn? Please help! Thank you.
Mark I've been missing your videos! Where have you gone!? Ive just started a Danio only tank, could you breed Giant Danios? (although I appreicate it will be very much the same kind of job as Zebras!)
Is it easy to breed Green dainos? Have been trying for some months without success. Have watched your videos and find it extremely informative
Im currently attempting to breed zebra danios and I've got 2 in a breeding tank. I put one in thinking it was a female because it had a big belly but it has just turned yellowish and it has been chasing the other danio. Does this mean it's just a very fat male?
It seems the hardest part in breeding fish is to catch them in the community tank. Is that why you get a pair from the fish dealer?
Anyway I was able to catch a couple of pairs of the five band barbs, they were quite easy to trick into the net. But it seems very difficult to get them to acclimatize in the breeding tank, they're scared and just stay in a corner or under a leaf, sometimes freakin' out. I used mostly tank water setting it up. Could it be the light being too bright (not brighter than the community tank)? Or is it just that they liked it so much in the community tank that they were disappointed being transferred to a whole new tank?
I also used quite a lot of plants so they would feel safe, apparently that did not work out.
I also put some peat under the gravel to have a bit of a softer, lower pH water. I have some peat pellets in the community tank filter so it should be familiar to them.
Hello sir. Should i put an air stone in the fry tank? And will it be a problem if there are snails too? Can the snails eat the wrigglers?
Mark, thanks for the advice and inspiration. I take it the same principals will apply for Leopard Danios? One thing I picked up was you said they 'paired for life'. I've just got 6 Leopard Danios which when bigger I'd like to try to breed from - do these pair for life ? If so do i need to get the 'exact' pair out of the tank for breeding, or will any male & female breed together. Thanks again.
Let them grow up and form the pairs. 👍😀
@@MARKSAQUATICS I was also wondering this (...and your answer didn't really help ;) ). Let's say I have a tank with 20 danios and they all already "paired for life". If I pick out two random ones for mating, the chance is pretty low that I happened to get a matching "pair". So how does that work?
I have never noticed the extended vacuum hose on the wall. What a shame I can’t think of everything myself. I will copy that idea but give you the credit and pass on your informative videos thanks again.
Great video Mark, do you know if white cloud mountain minnows would need the same or similar setup? Cheers. Hope you make a full recovery soon.
Hi Tim. WCMM have a similar set up but the the pairing and courtship are different. I've got some WCMM's might breed them so you guys how its done.👍😀
Cheers Mark, that would be fantastic. I’ve got the golden wcmm and in a community tank I think they really stand out from the crowd.
yes please! :)
Does this work for glofish zebra danios?
glad your back is feeling better buddy . and wow they breed fast lol .. is4 days the normal for eggs to hatch .. cause i have some eggs in my tank not sure if there cory or snail for sure but either way they dont seem to be doing much
Cory eggs will hatch in 2 to 3 days.👍😀
must not be cory eggs then .. they have been there for about a week .. or maybe there not even going to hatch ..no idea
You said the mortality rate is really high...could it be over feeding? seems like there was tons available then you added a million more
Hi Mark just followed this and bred my first danios cheers. I was was wondering do you they hatch at different speeds. Mine seem to have been hatching over 2 weeks. Some are very big and others are obviously newly hatched. I suppose it makes sense in the wild. Whats your thoughts. Cheers David
If you still have the parents in the tank they will lay eggs every morning and hatch at different stages.
sir do they eat thier eggs if ever you leave the parents inside the tank eith them?
I'm noticing that them going nuts as soon as I turn on the lights in the morning I have about 70 of them in 125 gallon trying to learn more about it but it looks like they're spawning but the other ones are eating all their eggs
hi mark glad your on the mend, all my tanks are to big and catching danios would be a nightmare, ive put a pair in a tank and nothing happened for the first 48hrs, is it ok to leave the pair in a tank of their own until they spawn then remove the adults
Yes it's fine to leave them in there, but make sure add a filter ok.👍😀
What would you feed celestial pearl danio fry ?
You have to start them of on infusoria because of their very small size ok.
Fantastic video. I'm a solid fan. You're a great guy! I have a small ~10 litre tank. Would fish spawn in there?
John Barker Thanks John. Yes neons and zebra danios will breed in that size aquarium. 😀👍
MARK'S AQUATICS hey! Thanks for the response! I wasn't sure if you'd see this. It's actually lemon tetras I want to breed. Any thoughts?
does this work for glofish zebra danios
😍❤️😍😍😍❤️
Hi..i have a male and female danio tetra in 1 tank with my other tropical fishes.so if i were to spawn them i just need to seperate them to another tank simillar with this technic u having?
yes if you separate them I a small tank and follow the video they will breed.
Thanks alot buddy for the tips
Do u have to use infusoria or can u feed them microworms and Walter worms
Infusoria for first food ideally but you can try liquid fry food
where can i get blood worms cant get them in usa or from ebay
Bought 4 Danios two weeks ago, 3 have the zebra stripe and the fourth is light in colour, this one chased one of the zebra striped one for two weeks and now it is dead, it is now chasing the other two everywhere. Should I buy more females to spread out the harassment? Or will the light one, which I think is a male settle down?
Cheers for the vid 👍🏽
ive had zebra danios for over a year now and havnt seen any eggs. ive seen them chasing eachother around but so far no eggs, i moved a big piece of java moss from the wood to the bottom of the tank and ill see what happens!
I have a five gallon with what I believe to be 2 males and one female zebra danios should I try getting one more female then?
Hi John. They'll still breed two to one. but you could get another one to even up numbers.👍😀
Can you breed 2 different types of daneos (like a zebra and a leopard or long fin with a short fin ) thanks in advance great vid 🤙🏼
yes these varieties can interbreed
