Overview
What to know before you buy.
A smaller, gentler danio with a spotted flank and a soft gold stripe. Better suited to nano community tanks than the zebra danio, though it still wants a group and open swimming space.
Care guide
Keeping Dwarf Spotted Danio healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 45L aquarium suits Dwarf Spotted Danio. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–7.5 and 22–26°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore — micro foods. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful shoaler. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Dwarf Spotted Danio depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
