One thing we learnt was they breed more like a characin than a danio. Spawned 11.1.02, fish used 4 males 2 females.

36 x 10 x 9 inches, temperature 76-78 °F, pH 6, GH 3, decor sponge filter, a clump of java moss.

These fish are quite unique in the way they spawn, a dominant male took position over the moss his colours intensified more than the other males, he made frequent dashes towards the 2 females showing his flanks to them then dashing back to the moss trying to tempt one of the females.

Once lured the breeding starts far more delicate than other danios, they seemed to spawn over a couple of days, the eggs take 3 days to hatch and a further 4 days to become free-swimming.

First food paramecium for roughly a week then micro-worms, crushed flake and BBS. Adult colouration was 2 months old. These fry seemed to get velvet at the drop of a hat.

Thats copied from my log book so apologies for it being long winded.
