Zebra Danio – Energetic & Hardy Tropical Fish for All Aquariums

Add vibrant movement and charm to your freshwater aquarium with the Zebra Danio (Danio rerio) – a hardy, active schooling fish known for its distinctive horizontal stripes and playful behavior. These small but lively fish are ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists, making them a popular and reliable addition to any community tank.

🌿 Key Features:

  • Striking Appearance: Characterized by their sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies with bold black and white zebra-like stripes, Zebra Danios are eye-catching and elegant swimmers.

  • Peaceful Nature: Non-aggressive and highly social, they thrive in groups and get along well with most other peaceful fish species.

  • Extremely Hardy: Tolerant of a wide range of water conditions, Zebra Danios are an excellent choice for new hobbyists and well-established tanks alike.

  • Constant Motion: Their lively swimming adds dynamic movement and life to your aquarium, making it more engaging and visually appealing.

📏 Size & Care:

  • Adult Size: Up to 5cm

  • Tank Size: Minimum 40L (for a small school)

  • Temperature Range: 18°C – 26°C

  • pH Range: 6.5 – 7.5

  • Diet: Omnivorous – readily accepts flakes, pellets, and live/frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia.

🐟 Ideal Tank Mates:

Zebra Danios do well in community setups with similarly peaceful species like:

  • Guppies

  • Tetras

  • Corydoras

  • Mollies

  • Gouramis

Avoid housing them with slow-moving, long-finned species (like bettas), as Zebra Danios are fast swimmers and may nip out of curiosity if not kept in a proper school.

✅ Why Choose Zebra Danios?

  • Excellent for cycling new tanks

  • Very low maintenance and disease-resistant

  • Active swimmers that create a fun, schooling display

  • Suitable for both tropical and slightly cooler tanks


Note: Zebra Danios should always be kept in groups of 5 or more to reduce stress and encourage natural schooling behavior.
