Zebra Danio
Danio rerio
Family: Cyprinidae
📍 Ganges & Brahmaputra, South Asia
Zebra danios are robust, active schooling fish characterised by horizontal blue and silver stripes. They are among the most beginner-friendly species available, tolerating a wider range of water conditions than most tropical fish. Their bold, zippy behaviour makes them excellent dither fish to reduce the shyness of more reclusive tankmates.
