	Boesmanis + Giant Danio
Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	So I got up this morning and started watching my fish before I actualy get out of bed as I normaly do and here I find my larger male Boesmani Rainbow all colored up swimming next to my biggest Giant Danio. They seemed to be kind of interested in each other. The male rainbow was really flaring his colors like I haven't seem him do before. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a male/female Giant Danio? Might the try to bread? If so what kind of chance of any fry coming about are there? Anyways it was pretty neat to watch my male do his thing. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

The rainbow may have only been "interested" in showing the danio who was prettier; sort of like the contests that male rainbows, tetras, etc. will have amongst themselves. That's my best guess, but I can't believe that the fish were interested in spawning. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
