Zebra danio Zebra_danio

Common name: Zebra danio
Scientific name: Danio rerio
Synonyms: Brachydanio rerio
Size: Up to 2.5" (6cm)
Origin: India
Tank setup: Planted tank, with open swimming space.
Compatibility: Generally an excellent community fish.
Temperature: 18-25oC (64-77oF)
Water chemistry: Not too critical, but fairly soft and slightly acidic ideally.
Feeding: Accepts most aquarium foods - feed flake, granules, etc with frozen/live food supplemented.
Sexing: Females have a rounder shape and are usually slightly larger.
Breeding: Use a temperature at the upper end of the scale and fairly soft water. Breed as a pair in a tank with fine-leaved plants, among which the eggs are scattered. Remove the adults after spawning to prevent the eggs being eaten. Eggs hatch in about 48 hours.
Comments: A hardy and highly active shoaling fish for the upper region of the aquarium. It is recommended that they be purchased as a small group, as individual specimens tend to fade away by themselves. Long-finned varieties and golden/albino colour forms are available. They are occasionally associated with fin-nipping, but this is the exception rather than the norm, and they generally make excellent community fish.

They are SUPER easy to care for, way easier than Neons. You can get the long-finned kind too. As well as albinos.
