Answer
Hello Remie,

For Zebra Fish sting - Run hot water, hot as you can stand it, and place your stung area under it.  Don't put it in boiling water.  It will scale your hand.  Super hot is sufficient enough to kill the venom.

It will be quite painful, just the same.

Zebra Fish breed

I have never bred Zebra Fish, but here is what they say about them in a book. This is for the Shortfin Lionfish - same genus, different species - Same known breeding habits.

Lionfish:

    The Shortfin Lionfish is the most often reported as having bred in captivity.

    They are haremic, which means one male will spawn with a group of females. After courting for an entire day, the fish will spawn around midnight. They will rise to the top of the water column during and release gelatinous balls of eggs, each ball containing about 2000 eggs.
    The egg balls will dissolve after about 24 hours releasing the individual eggs. The eggs themselves will hatch after about 36 hours. The fry will immediately feed on the available plankton. As with most fish it is difficult to keep enough plankton in the water to keep the fry alive.

    The above information was obtained from Seascope, Volume 15, Summer 1998, in an article by Matthew L. Wittenrich entitled Lionfish: An Overview

I hope this has been helpful for you.  I hope you didn't get stung. :)

It's very painful, I hear.

Happy fish-keeping.
