Zebra Danios were one of the first fish I owned when I entered the hobby 20 yrs ago. They were also one of the first egg layers I ever spawned.

This fish is as easy as it gets. They are hardy, inexpensive and can handle most mistakes by beginners. They are a great fish to start with or to stick with if you want to remain with simplicity

Just got a 10g setup for about 2 months at this time. Things are going well and I am enjoying my 6 zebra danios. Feel free to check out my fish tank set up!

Bought 2 zebra and 2 leopard danios for my new tank recently, and now have about 40 babies in the ‘hatchery’ tank inside the main one. They didn’ t waste any time. Only noticed I had babies when doing a gravel vac and I’d put 3 buckets down the bath, then saw fry in the 4th. Oops. Sorry little ones.. Anyway, saved the last load, and have no idea how many are still hiding in the main tank. Will see in a few weeks I guess when they grow.
Lesson learnt – keep the plug in the bath when doing water changes, and check the water before I let it go..

I just got 2 zebra danios from the fish store, they came in a dark yellow crappy water bag and did just fine and lived. That shows how hardy these fish are, and since I am a beginner to the hobby it is defiantly nice to see them happy as can be in my 10 gal tank even if I am not running everything perfect yet!

They are cool looking and fun to watch as well.

Con: Hard to get a photo of, they never stop moving!
