Description
Zebra danios hail from South Asia, growing up to 5cm, they are best identified by the horizontal ‘zebra like’ stripes running across their bodies. Zebra danios are extremely hardy and super active fish that can tolerate temperatures from room temperature to 25°C. A great choice, especially for those new to the hobby. Special requirements: Zebra danios are a shoaling fish and must be kept in groups of six or more to promote natural behaviour and reduce aggression. They can jump so be sure that the tank lid is firmly closed.
Diet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Zebra danios EBO Pro soft Artemia, Insect and Spirulina. They also enjoy live foods including daphnia and brine shrimp. Tank size: 90 litres tanks, ideally long, as supposed to tall to give the danios space to swim horizontally through the water at speed. Tank mates: Zebra danios can be prone to nipping fins of slow-moving fish so are best kept with active, fast-moving fish such as barbs, tetras, corys and loaches. Avoid guppies, angel fish and bettas.
