I LOVE Zebra danios...they\'re so much fun to watch. Something great about a fish that is so versatile and just lives to play tag. Great beginner\'s fish too! Be sure to keep them in a group of at least three...prefer 6+.

I absolutely love Zebra Danios!! Don\'t get me wrong, I adore my Mollies, but Danios are so much fun!! They remind me allot of my ADHD husand =/
I can watch them for hours. And they get along fantastic with my Mollies & Swordtails.

Mean fin-nipping fish who chase other small fish.

These are the perfect fish to start a tank. I still have one that is three years old. He successfully cycled my tank with flying colors. BUT he can be quite a little bugger to the other fish, particularly my rasboras. It\'s a good thing these fish are tiny, because if they were large they probably wouldn\'t make a decent community fish; and they probably wouldn\'t make very good musicians either. That is why I didn\'t give them any musical names like Coltrane or Miles. Instead I named them all Chris. Why? Because I can\'t tell the sexes apart and I figured Chris or Pat would be cool. But don\'t use Pat, because then your friends will make fun of you and your fish. Do you really want them standing around your tank saying, \"\'What\'s that? It\'s Pat.\'?\"

I have 6 of these lovely long-finned zebra danios and they're great. I havent had a bad experience with them yet. They make the tank look more active. Swimming so fast with those long and flowing fins and those nice looking stripes looks so wonderful. These fish get along great with my neons, cardinals, corys, angels, and livebearers. With a group of 6+, these are a great addition to any tank.

They need a covered tank. They will jump out and kill themselves. Like to school and look great as a school. Swim back and forth and makes a great stress reliever for those days you wish never happened.

I originally got 6 to cycle my tank, they are still there now and are the most active and entertaining group in the tank. Very easy to care for, highly recommended for any beginners.

I've had Danios for a little while now, very entertaining, they were a bit nippy to my slow moving Betta though. But all-in-all a fun hardy fish.

Eat a lot of food.. could move too fast for slower fish
|

zebra danios are pretty cool, it is awesome to watch them as they like to play tag a lot.. one thing about them though is that since they swim up top they get to the food first and they eat a lot.. but once your other tank mates are used to the water they will learn when feeding time is and come right up there also so its not too much of a problem..
