Zebra Danio

Danio rerio

The Zebra Danio is a long-time favorite among freshwater aquarists. Kept in groups, this active community fish will make a great addition to the aquarium. These fish are silver or gold with bright blue/purple lines.

Danio rerio prefers a planted community aquarium with plenty of space to swim. This fish gets along with other Danio species as well as other peaceful fish of the same size.

Zebra Danio males generally 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.

An omnivore, the Zebra Danio should be fed a mixed diet of flake and frozen foods.
