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.

Everything you need to keep Zebra Danio healthy in a South African setup.
A minimum 60L aquarium suits Zebra Danio. Match décor to natural behaviour — plants, rockwork, or open swimming room as needed.
Keep pH 6.5–7.5 and 18–25°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Zebra Danio is omnivore — flake, micropellet, live foods. Feed a varied diet appropriate for freshwater fish — quality flakes, pellets, or frozen foods sized to the mouth.
Zebra Danio is generally active, hardy shoaler. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.
Pair with similarly sized active, hardy shoaler tankmates in freshwater fish. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
