Description

Leopard Long Fin Danio

The Leopard Longfin Danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family Cyprinidae. Long Fin Danios are distributed across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Nepal. It is so named due to the long pectoral and anal fins on the underside of the body. Danios are a shoaling species that can encourage timid species to venture out, and have been referred to as 'dither fish' due to their active nature.

There are a few colour variations of longfin danio's. Leopard long fins typically flash bright yellow-white to silver in colouration, with the typical leopard spots underneath the shimmering display.

In the wild, the danio's are found in along the surface of small, clear rivers and hill streams. Zebra Danio's are a very hardy fish that like to shoal together which makes them great for beginners. They are suitable for indoor cold/temperate water tanks also.

Where do Danio fish originate from?
Where do Long Fin Danios come from? Danios, fishes belonging to the family Cyprinidae, are believed to originate from south and southeast Asia. You will find the Danio in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and across southern Asia. Over the years Danios have been traditionally one of the most popular tropical fish kept by hobbyists.

Are Danios fin-nippers, will they nip the fins of other fish?
Danios may have small bouts of fin-nipping with any long-finned tank mates but this should not be too serious. Danios have a very small mouth, so any damage will be fairly limited and is unlikely to persist. Fancy goldfish do make suitable tank mates, however as a precaution it is not generally recommended that they are kept with slow-swimming long-finned tankmates.
