Zebra Danio (Tropical Fish Species) Danios (Danio rerio) are unique in that they can be used as the tank “peacemakers”. Some types of Danios will distract aggressive fish from fighting with the weaker fish. Female Betta fish are known for attacking one another if kept in the same tank, but add a school of Danios, and the Bettas will be distracted and mind their own business!

Danio fish species live for a few years, with sizes ranging from a small 1.5” of the Zebra, Gold, Leopard, and Pearl Danio varieties to a large 5” in length of the Giant Danio variety.

Zebra Danio ()

Zebra Danio

Danios are a great fish for beginning aquarists as they are very hardy. They are sometimes called "perpetual motion with fins" because they are an active schooling fish. The Zebra Danio is silver or gold in color with blue to purple stripes. This schooling fish does best in aquariums with other community fish, plants to hide in and plenty of space to swim. Commonly used as a "dither fish " which essentially communicates to other fish that the open water activity of the Danio means everything is normal. This allows reclusive and shy fish to be seen more frequently.
