Common Names: Zebra Danio, Leopard Danio, Longfin Danio, Assorted Danios

Maximum Size: 4–6 cm
Temperament: Peaceful and active

Aquarium Setup:
Best kept in groups of 6 or more in aquariums of at least 40 litres. Danios thrive in tanks with open swimming space, gentle to moderate current, and a secure lid—these fish are notorious jumpers! A planted tank with darker substrate helps bring out their natural colour, and their constant movement adds life to any aquascape.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–26°C
pH: 6.5–7.5
Hardness: 5–15 dGH
Growth and Maintenance:
Danios are low-maintenance and incredibly adaptable, making them ideal for cycling new tanks. While small, they are bold and often among the first to investigate new things in the aquarium. Provide a varied diet and keep in lively schools to encourage natural behaviours.
Care Tips:
✔ Always keep in groups of 6+ to reduce stress and aggression
✔ Use a secure lid to prevent jumping
✔ Offer high-quality flakes and frozen food for best health
✔ Provide flow to mimic their natural habitat
✔ Include plants and driftwood for resting and cover
Compatibility:
Ideal tankmates for most peaceful community fish including tetras, rasboras, livebearers, Corydoras, and gouramis. Avoid pairing with slow-moving or long-finned species that may be bothered by their energy.
Availability:
Widely available in Australia in a range of colours and fin types. Often sold as mixed assortments, perfect for those looking for variety and activity.
