you are saying dino,,, do you mean danio? They are egg layers, maintain a water temperature of 78°F and the female will drop its eggs in the gravel bed. The eggs will hatch in two days and you will have to remove the adults because they will eat the fry.(quote)

If they're not being picked on, I'd not move them now.

If they spawn and you want to keep the fry you will have to remove everyone from your tank.The parents will eat the eggs and just about everything will eat tiny wiggly fry.
If you want to breed them , try setting up a small tank with a layer of marbles on the bottom.The eggs fall to the bottom and the parents cant get to them.Once they have spawned the fat female will be much skinnier and you should move the adults back to the big tank.There is a picture in the fry gallery that shows how small they are.
Wish you luck.

You will need to keep on top of cleaning and water changes in such a small tank.
After about 4-6 weeks they will be fully formed little fish (fins ,tails and proper eyeballs) at which point you could sell them. They are cheap fish so I dont know what you would get for them.
P.S. Santa is not pregnant, he just has a big belly

That's good. You know how the home planet frowns on that.
