Comments Danios are hardy, energetic, and mild tempered fish. They are good fish for most aquariums, and Danios are strongly recommended as good
fish for beginners in their first aquarium.

Appropriate Home
An aquarium with an
exterior power filter
with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, and an
aquarium
heater adjusted between 70 and 82 degrees F. Over a period of time Danios can adapt to even lower temperatures and live in an aquarium without a heater. Click
here
for more about Warm Water Aquariums. Click
here for more about Cool Water Aquariums.
These are some of the Zebra Danios for sale at our online retail tropical fish store. They enjoy each other's company and often crowd
together. Click here for more about buying Danios from us.
Recommended Diet
Floating flake food and
freeze dried blood
worms, which are
actually mosquito
larvae. Both of these
foods are available in
most stores that sell
pet fish.
Danios also relish an occasional feeding of a few live Black Worms and live or frozen brine shrimp. Click
here
for more about feeding your fish. I feed these Danios a few Black Worms every other day. Click
here for more about Black Worms.
Picture Gallery of
Danios
Above,
Zebra Danio Males.
Above,
Zebra Danio Female,
which is plumper than
the males farther above.
You can also see that
the males coloration is
brighter and more
reflective, but the
females are still very
pretty, and can lay eggs
to produce babies !!
Shown above,
a young Gold Zebra Danio
in an aquarium at
AquariumFish.net. This
is a color variety of
the Zebra Danio, and it
is very pretty, very hardy,
and very energetic. A highly
recommended aquarium
fish.

but she is still very
pretty.

Various types of Danios are often used as dither fish to distract aggressive fish from fighting. For example, when female Bettas live together in the same aquarium, they often
flare their gills and act aggressively toward each other. But when the busy Danios come schooling past, the female Bettas are distracted and leave each other alone.
