Zbrafish Digest, Vol 28, Issue 3

[raj abi]

Hi Sridevi,
  Depending upon whether you intend to do pair spawning or group spawning,you can use different types of breeding tanks. Plasic tanks of 2 lit capacity with a fitting trap to allow the eggs settle at the bottom will be sufficient for pair spawning where as 8 lit glass tank or fibre glass tank with suitable trap will serve the purpose for group spawning.
  In both cases I would suggest you can make your traps or sieve we can say using plastic or fibre glass to fit the size of the tanks.The point here is, the eggs need to be clearly separated and settled down on the bottom of the tank to save it from being eaten up by the adults,meaning eggs can pass through the sieve while the adults should not.You can attach some plastic leaves or some soft substance to the sieve/trap as they love to lay the eggs around it!!!.............and your breeding tank is ready...

Hi everyone,

Operon is planning the release of a microarray ready probe set for
printing microarrays for Zebrafish. The set includes about 22,000 70
mer probes that cover the entire genome. If you or a colleague are
interested please feel free to contact me for more information.

Thank you,

Abria

Dear Sir/Madam,

I sridevi from India working as a Junior Research Fellow under Dr. V.Kalarani Head, Associate Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Sri Padmavati Women's University, Tirupati, Chittoor Dist., Andhra Pradesh, India.
We are working on zebrafish. So we need the zebrafish breeding tanks. Please give me the modalities and information for purchase of zebrafish breeding tanks.

With Best Regards,

Sridevi

Most suppliers (AHAB, MBI, Tecniplast, etc.) make their own version of
breeding trap. Most of these, as well as others made by laboratory supply
companies, are plastic traps that fit inside plastic tanks. 

In my opinion (based upon my personal experience, data collected in
laboratory settings, and observations of the animals spawning in the wild)
the ones that work best are those that can be "tipped", providing a shallow
to deep gradient within the trap. The fish appear to preferentially spawn
in the shallow areas. If you don't believe me, try it, and pay close
attention to how the fish behave and where most of the eggs are laid.

All cages will work. But those that can be easily tipped work better.
Still my opinion. But a semi-informed one.

With this in mind, we use 2 liter polycarbonate mouse cages from nalgene or
tecniplast, fill it with fish water, and insert the following breeding trap,
tip it, and let the fish do their thing (with proper conditioning, of
course).

Using such an approach, you can probably get all supplies in India (mouse
cages, reasonable facsimile of breeding trap).
