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 yellow
or gold. Several thick, horizontal blue, green, or black stripes
will adorn the sides. Fins will usually be yellow with black
horizontal lines.
Keep these fish in schools of 6 or more for maximum health.
Current should be avoided. Slower fish may get picked on by
these Danios.
They are extremely fast and agile. pH should be as close to
neutral as possible. Water temperatures should be slightly
lower than
other tropical fish. Plants and rocks will provide adequate
hiding places.
Feed any typical fish foods. Natural foods include insects,
worms, and tiny crustaceans. Tiny crickets, small snails, and
mosquitos are relished.
Breeding and sexing are not known.
