Choosing the right danios for your tank
Danios are schooling fish that belong in groups of six or more. Zebra, leopard, and pearl danios do well in 10 gallons and better in a 20 gallon long tank that gives them room to race, while giant danios need 55 gallons or more. They are among the most adaptable aquarium fish, comfortable from about 65 to 77°F, which means many can live in an unheated indoor tank, with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5.
Danios are fast, top-dwelling swimmers, so use a lid and leave open water above the plants. They are peaceful with most community fish but can nip at slow, long-finned tankmates like bettas when kept in small numbers. Feed flakes, micro pellets, and frozen foods such as daphnia and brine shrimp.
Shipping and live arrival guarantee
Danios are bagged with oxygen, insulated, and shipped overnight within the USA. Every fish is covered by our live arrival guarantee: contact us within 2 hours of delivery about any DOA and we will issue store credit or send a replacement.
Frequently asked questions
Do danios need a heater?
Most danios tolerate room temperature water, but a heater keeps conditions stable if your home gets cold or if you keep them with tropical fish.
How many danios should I keep?
Keep at least six. A larger school is calmer, shows better color, and spreads any nipping among the group.
Are danios good for beginners?
Yes. Danios are hardy, inexpensive, and forgiving, which makes them one of the best first fish for a new aquarium.
