WOW!! Where i live, in the States, CPDs tend to go for around $6-8. Everything seems to be so expensive in Australia!

Prices change over here( same city as nick) , I’ve sold them for $4ea / $10ea / $12ea and $20ea in the last twenty years it all depends on how many people are breeding them and demand as they can’t be imported.

In the netherlands these fish go for about € 3,00 Usually 5 for € 15,00. I have them in a 30L heavily panted nano tank and they are breeding and fry is growing up. I don't feed any special foods, just fine flakes and that works well.

Cool video on one of my favourite species.Thanks. You are the wrong way round though about their classification. They used to be considered as Rasbora but have since been reclassified as a Danionins, hence "Danio Margaritatus". Can't believe how pricey they are over there. They cost £3.50 to £4.50 over here in the UK.

I rescued a single male from a local Petco. He was the only one left in the tank, he looked healthy, and I worried that he'd probably get sick and die if left there. They haven't gotten any more healthy CPDs in since unfortunately, but he's absolutely thriving in the heavily planted 29g.

@philipwiles9568 2 года назад

Really good content, and good advice as always. With your breeding Tubs, when do you start removing the methylene blue? You started feeding infusoria but the water had changed.

@PhoebeLisaaa 2 года назад

Each bucket is one day so day 3 he removed it

@philipwiles9568 2 года назад

Day 1-3 is methylene blue and each day adding the eggs, but then need time to hatch and become free-swimming in the tub before moving them to a 2ft tank. So still unsure, my thought is to do small water changes to dilute out the methylene blue.

@didnthurt4077 Год назад

You mention feeding baby brine shrimp to fry quite often. I know you mentioned not having an issue with the shells, but was curious how the saltwater of the brine shrimp interacts with the fry. I didn't see you wash them, or remember you saying anything about the salt content. Would you say something in regards to the salt content of the water in relationship to the fry?

Do your danios come to the top to feed? Mine always stay on the bottom.

@mr.octopus6972 5 месяцев назад

@@didnthurt4077 They are mostly opportunistic middle feeders. They are a carnivorous specie so they prefer food that is moving (it triggers their hunting instinct). If the food is floating or goes to the bottom they are way less likely to go for it. These fish are very carefull, if they fear to go in some areas of your aquarium it's because they dont feel safe. It's counter intuitive for us humans to think that more hyding places = brave fish, but it's true.

Nice video. I have some experience with Danio's as well. I disagree on the minimum number of 6. They are definitely not happy in such a small group. I think you should keep them in groups of at least 15. With these numbers they are a lot more happy. Low numbers don't do the fish any good.

@shayxie8318 2 года назад

I kept a group as a dither fish with a small betta sorority- they're so fast and gorgeous and fun to watch! Got the first three accidentally when my local fish store scooped them up with some floating plants, and I loved them immediately. I might take them out and try breeding them to up the school size in a safe environment :)

@theaquarist71 2 года назад

Hi thank for the great video, I got myself 6 CPD's and want to breed them. I have been feeding them baby brine and the males are starting to show breeding behaviour. I setup a moss trap but haven't seen any eggs currently... Any ideas why?

@DIYMick 2 года назад

could be a few reasons. 1) you are taking too long to harvest the eggs and they are getting eaten. 2) they are in a planted tank and there lots of other places to spawn instead of the moss trap? 3) they may be too young still. I also have found that natural morning light triggers their spawning. When I get eggs it's in the morning. If there aren't any there before say 11am, i won't get them that day. They are typically daily spawners though. Some groups seem to do better than others...haven't worked out why

@mr.octopus6972 5 месяцев назад

Try to have *at least* 50% water from the main tank into your breeding tank. Do water changes as needed also with the water from the main tank. Many people are telling that they lost many fries by adding new uncycled water. Then you top off the missing water in the main tank with tap. That's what I've read...

I have a group of 8 in a heavily planted 20g with other small community fish. I wasn't able to sex them at the store but for the first few weeks I figured out I had about 4 males, 4 females. Now a few months later, I am pretty sure that number is 5 males 3 females. It is definitely male heavy in the tank, and I doubt that is ideal since the males are absolutely bonkers, always showing off and sparring with each other. In my experience in a planted tank with a small group and other fish out and about they aren't shy at all. With the sex ratio I have they are far from that, and are the busiest and most active fish in the tank.

I have adult, adolescent, babies, and berried shrimp in my tank. I feel like my shrimp could care less when they see my shrimp. I’ve seen shrimp probably as young as a week old.
