What is the best food for danios?
Most danios are omnivorous and will thrive on Aqueon Tropical Flakes, Color Flakes, Tropical Granules and Shrimp Pellets. Frozen and live foods can also be fed as treats or to help induce spawning. For best results, rotate their diet daily and feed only what they can consume in under 2 minutes, once or twice a day.
How long do danio eggs take to hatch?
The eggs hatch in one and a half to two days, but the fry won't become free-swimming for another couple of days after that (these times vary a bit with temperature). Do not feed the fry until they're all up and swimming – you'll just pollute the aquarium. Zebra danio fry are very tiny and transparent.

I got some surprise Zebra Danio fry that I'm trying to grow out. They are in a 7 gallon planted tank with some neocaridina, no other fish in the tank. Yesterday, they were attached to the glass, but this morning, they are now free swimming.

So I have white cloud fry that are similar size to the danio fry and the first few weeks I fed them powdered flake food. I tried to feed them crushed bloodworms too that I just got from the bottom of the bloodworms container and they seemed to like that too.
