Question
How often do Glo Fish Spawn and do I need to seperate the eggs from the rest of the fish in the aqurium?

Answer
Crystal,
The zebra Danio, which is a Glofish will spawn about every 3 weeks or so sometime 28 days. Yes you will need to separate the eggs because all the other fish in the tank will eat them. It is easier if you have a Glofish breeding tank. The substrate should be 2 inches of cleaned marbles. The eggs will fall through them so the parents can't eat them. Once the pair is done you can put them back into the main tank. Make sure the breeding tank has been cycled just like the main tank.
