Comments Danios are hardy, energetic, and mild tempered fish. They are good fish for most aquariums, and Danios are strongly recommended as good
fish for beginners in their first aquarium.

These are some of the Zebra Danios for sale at our online retail tropical fish store. They enjoy each other's company and often crowd
together. Click here for more about buying Danios from us.
Recommended Diet
Floating flake food and
freeze dried blood
worms, which are
actually mosquito
larvae. Both of these
foods are available in
most stores that sell
pet fish.
Danios also relish an occasional feeding of a few live Black Worms and live or frozen brine shrimp. Click
here
for more about feeding your fish. I feed these Danios a few Black Worms every other day. Click

Danios

Zebra Danio Males.
Above,
Zebra Danio Female,
which is plumper than
the males farther above.
You can also see that
the males coloration is
brighter and more
reflective, but the
females are still very
pretty, and can lay eggs
to produce babies !!
Shown above,

is a color variety of
the Zebra Danio, and it
is very pretty, very hardy,
and very energetic. A highly

fish.

Various types of Danios are often used as dither fish to distract aggressive fish from fighting. For example, when female Bettas live together in the same aquarium, they often
flare their gills and act aggressively toward each other. But when the busy Danios come schooling past, the female Bettas are distracted and leave each other alone.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
