Overview
What to know before you buy.
The classic beginner shoaler: tolerant of a wide temperature range, endlessly active, and happiest in groups of six or more. Its restlessness makes it a poor tankmate for long-finned or timid fish.
Care guide
Keeping Zebra Danio healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 60L aquarium suits Zebra Danio. Match décor to its natural habitat: planting, rockwork or open swimming room as needed.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–7.5 and 18–25°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore — flake, micropellet, live foods. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Active, hardy 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 Zebra 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.
