Billaney Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd been looking for these guys for a while after they were pointed out to me by another member of this site ( thanks Alan ) and have now managed to produce a good size spawning , i had spawned them a few months ago but only in 2 or 3's this time its in the 20-30's, an awesome little fish . has anyone else spawned these guys ? http://www.danios.info/Contents/species/danio13.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 No I didn't succeed with mine Paul, I got down to one lonely fish, and as you know, they don't breed too well likr that. Maybe I can obtain some that aren't "Shop soiled" Good one Paul. While in Auck. I checked most of the "Big" shops up there and none had those in. I looked real hard too.

I looked real hard too. i know they are almost impossable to find , i found my 6 in a big tank with maybe 400+ danios in it in one of the Jansens, can't remember which one , you should have seen the guys face when i told him i wanted those 6, and i ment those 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 you making the poor shop staff earn their money paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I haven't breed mine yet Paul, not got around to it. They are full grown though and the females look like they carry plenty of row so I would expect at least 100 + fry from them. Must do it soon as there all primed to go, all I need to do is drop the temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I've had an e-mail from Peter Cottle in england who is a renouned expert in Danios and he has told me there had been no confirmed breedings of this fish anywhere in the world and he seems pretty sure that mine is a WORLD first , this just blows me away, he himself has tried to breed them a number of time with no luck.

Afrikan Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 WOOHOO!!!! :bounce: :bounce: Congrats Paul!!! When's the party?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ya hoo Paul Those were the ones Peter mis-identified too at the Tauranga meeting. I think at that stage, I hadn't picked up, or anyone else, the difference from your ones that you had previously bred. No spots on the anal fin to the ones that Wok had picked up for me. We had held up the bags beside one another too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxglove Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 By the by, how many species of Danio do you have? And are they all the available ones in NZ? There were quite a few on that link you gave. I guess we don't have the devarios here. The kyathit and your latest one are certainly two of the pretty ones!
