  • Breeding Danios

    This is a little different story.
    I have a pond with a 40ft stream; it averages 18" wide and 2" deep. The bottom is some sand, some rock, some sludge, with valisnaria , hornwort, and various bog blants that sneak in.
    The danios (zebras and giants) jump up 3" from the pond to the end of the stream. They then spawn like crazy; and continiously. 3 weeks after I through in the giant danios this summer , I found 3/4" long babies. ( the zebras wintered over).
    The young seem to stay in the stream until they are a inch long then drift into the pond with the 2 ft long Koi (who ignore them).
    I don't know if this counts as breeding as I don't do anything; I have recently been putting powdwered food in the stream.

    Cool! What an interesting observation! Thanks for sharing. :)

    BTW, do you have any pictures of this pond? I'm not sure if you've posted any before, but it sounds incredible.
