Zebra Danio
Origin: India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh - Found in streams, canals, ditches, ponds and slow-moving to
stagnant standing water bodies, particularly rice-fields.
Temperament: Peaceful. Community fish that should be kept in small
schools.
Feeding: Feed with normal or vegetable flakes, or live foods. Keep
some finely leaved plants in the tank.
Sexing:
The male has smaller yellow stripes
between its black lines, while the females have a background of silver. Females more round
and wider.
Comments: Very inexpensive and easy to keep. Excellent fish to use
as a first egg layer to spawn and small fry to raise. Best kept in schools.
The Zebra Danio boasts an instantly recognizable striped,
zebra pattern. A perennial favorite of freshwater enthusiasts, Danio rerio
is either silver or gold with five uniform blue/purple stripes that stretch
horizontally from the gill to the end of the tail. The Zebra Danio is a highly
active swimmer, especially when kept in small schools.
Native to the Ganges region in Eastern India, wild Zebra
Danios are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from fast-moving streams to
slow-moving, nearly stagnant ponds. In the home aquarium, this member of the
Cyprinidae family prefers a well-planted aquarium with large open swimming
areas. For best care, keep this peaceful fish in small schools with equally
non-aggressive fish. Since they are omnivores, feed the Zebra Danio a varied
diet of flake and frozen foods.
Male Zebra Danios are generally more torpedo shaped, while females tend to
have a larger belly. Generally, male Zebra Danios spawn with and remain loyal to
one female. A breeding pair should be placed in a breeding aquarium with
fine-leaved plants for them to spawn over. Roughly 300-400 eggs are produced and
hatch within two days. The fry should be fed small pieces of live foods, such as
brine shrimp.
