Description

Assorted Danio

The danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family Cyprinidae. Originating in Sumatra, Myanmar, and Thailand. In the wild, the danio is found in along the surface of small, clear rivers and hill streams.

This listing is a random assortment of Leopard, Zebra, and Pearl Danios. They 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. You will be sent a completely random selection, which may or may not include all of the above.

Please be aware that the image is for illustration purposes only. We are unable to guarantee the exact size, colour, sex or age of the fishes you are purchasing. To minimise stress we are unable to hand pick specific fish. Lifespan is an estimate based on optimum conditions.

Where do Danio fish originate from?
Where do Danios come from? Well, Danios, fishes belonging to the family Cyprinidae originate from south and southeast Asia. You will find the Danio in Sumatra, Myanmar, and Thailand 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 slow-swimming 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. The the size of the food should reflect this, so feed fine granules, such as Betta or Fry food granules.
