Detailed Description:

The Leopard Danio is one of the most common Danios available and can be found at just about any fish store. The base will usually be silver or white dark blue or black dots occurring in a horizontally lined pattern. The head will usually be darker. Fins will usually be yellow with tiny black or blue lines.

As with other Danios, keep these in groups of 6 or more. They socialize well with other Danios and other small fish. Do not keep with large fish. While generally passive, these fish may nip at much slower fish. The water should be clear and clean. Strong filtration and bi-weekly water changes are recommended. pH should be neutral or as close as possible.

Feed any typical fish foods. Natural foods include zooplankton and insects. Tiny crickets, small worms, and tiny live foods will be relished.

Breeding and sexing are not known.
