Congrats! did they spawn in moss? I have a few I've been keeping but not really looking for eggs. Wondering where the best place to look would be...

I found fry in the main tank! I was swishing around the java moss and I saw a fry cling to the glass . Hunting time!
Seeing I have fry already, they must have bred a few days before :O

The eggs hatched! Either yesterday when I was at the inauguration or today.. Having to stay up since 4 AM till midday I was knocked out so I was unable to check out the CPD tank.
They just hatched so not freeswimming yet, and because I do not have an uberleet camera to take pictures of I am borrowing them from this site.( http://www.danios.info/fish/margaritatus.aspx) And this is what they look like currently:

They do not swim to move much UNLESS you move em yourself by moving a net towards them or a siphon, but they just cling to the glass.

Nice job! I'm going to check out that site- very awesome photos. !
edit- just foudn some more cool photos of Danio rerio in the lab-

that's the early development of the egg- they use D. rerio due to it's very clear egg and thus easy to see developmental process.

Update:
The CPD's recently spawned yesterday and collected around 10 eggs, I think that only 1 or 2 females mated and missed a bunch of eggs.
But for now here is a picture of the tank with the new anubias barteri, nana, and windelov fern.

Update!
Prolific fishies, the fry are growing big and one fry already looks like a mini CPD adult without his/her colors.
I just did a siphon and finding around 20+ eggs.
Time to find another grow out tank.
