Giant Danios
Danio aequipinnatus
The Giant Danio is an excellent fish for the larger community aquarium. A blue-green background on the fish is intensified by its gold spots and lines.
Danio aequipinnatus is a very active fish requiring a large community aquarium with plenty of swimming room. A hood should be installed on the aquarium housing these fish, as they like to jump. Giant Danios should be kept in a group consisting of 5 or more fish.
An egg layer, the Giant Danio is stimulated to spawn by sunlight. After roughly 300 eggs are produced, hatching occurs within 36 hours. Fry should be fed fine pieces of live foods.
Giant Danios are omnivores and should be fed a diet of flake foods with plenty of vegetable matter, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex.
