Striped Danio

Hi there..

My friend has a striped Danio. the fish looks as though its pregnant, but we arent sure if it is this or Dropsy. What is their usual gestation period for babies?

Danios are egg scatterers not live bearers.

A Danio is in the same fish family as goldfish, raspboras, bitterings, white clouds and barbs. They are Cyprindae.

The time from laying of eggs to hatching will depend somewhat on the type of danio it is. An on-line search about Danio, family cyprindae will give you pictures as well as breeding conditions that you need to know.

Or maybe a book for in your home... Handbook of Tropical Aquarium Fishes is available at most pet/fish stores.
