About Tom Lee
Expertise
Experience of keeping everything from common Goldfish through to Tatia Reticulata all the to Tetradoan Suvatti. I'm good with Catfish, Goldfish, Puffers and small shoaling fish. Plus I'm based in the UK so any British questioners stop here.

Experience
I've kept lots of different species. Livebearers, Bettas, Puffers, Catfish, Axolotals etc I've lost fish to TB, ich etc. I've thought sod this for a laugh, this is a stupid hobby but I've ploughed on and I've gained loads of experience along the way.

Question
Hello,
I have recently purchase zebra danios. They are quite happy, and I think I have a breeding pair. The male is always chasing the female. I was wondering: what do their eggs look like? If I knew what their eggs looked like, I could know if I see any in the future.
Thanks,
Erika

Answer
Hi Erika,

Zebra Danios eggs look like tiny blobs of see-through jelly. However, Danios are notorious egg-eaters and will literally eat the eggs as they fall from the mother.

If you suspect one is pregnant it is best to move her into a breeding tank, with the base covered with a layer of marbles.

Tom
