Rainbows or giant danios?

I do have fry. In fact, a couple had paired off and have fry of their own. Lol
This boy is my “pick of the litter”. I’m pretty proud of him
I caught the rainbows in the act of spawning!
My no name rainbow is a female and the one I saw release eggs that my male red was fertilizing.
It is so interesting. Both them and the danios prefer to spawn right by the overflow. I saw eggs get sucked into the overflow. I can’t see them in the sump, but they end up somewhere between the intake and the first chamber of the sump.
Here are some eggs that stuck to my magnet.
I know this doesn’t guarantee the fry I currently have are rainbows, up id say the chances are really good!
I’ll be watching for the next round to hatch.

Looks like I saw two varieties of red rainbows
No, just one kind. Both are Irian‘s. The one must be a female. It has been getting chased too. I just haven’t seen it release eggs.
Any idea what kind this rainbow is?
I’ve had the hardest time trying to Id it.
Could it be striped or Murray river? To many rainbows!
I looked those up and they aren’t quite right. Definitely too many rainbows!
Whatever ones I’m able to raise will stay with me since it looks like I might just have crosses.
Eggs are hatching!
I was a bit worried last night that they might all die. I have heaters in my tank, but with the southerly winds we’ve been getting the temp in the house dropped to 55F(drafty windows) And the heaters could hardly keep up.
I have found 8 babies so far and added them into the fry tank.
I got to watch this little guy hatch!
They are so incredibly tiny.

Last time I had one (I was stupid then), I thought a 4 inch oscar and a 2 inch Dempsey can coexist. 2 days later, both dead. (looked like something from the Walking Dead(victims). Don't ask.
