Description

Giant danios grow up to 15cm in length and are native to the mountain streams of South Asia. They are a popular choice due to their high activity levels, hardiness and iridescent colouration. Special requirements: Giant danios are a shoaling fish and must be kept in groups of six or more to promote natural behaviour and reduce the likelihood of nipping and aggression.

They can jump so be sure that the tank lid is firmly closed. Giant danios enjoy strong filtration and wavemakers that mimic their natural habitat; fast flowing streams in South Asia.

Diet: Giant danios are omnivores, at Wirral Aquatics we feed a range of EBO products including EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Mussel and Insect meal. We also feed live foods such as bloodworm and brine shrimp. Tank size: 200 litres + ideally long, as supposed to tall to give the danios space to swim horizontally through the water at speed. Tank mates: Danios can be great dither fish for mildly aggressive cichlids because they are too fast to get caught. Avoid housing with slow moving or long finned fish as they can become boisterous during feeding and stress these fish out.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
