Bring a touch of shimmering elegance to your aquarium with the Golden Zebra Danio, a selectively bred variety of the popular Zebra Danio (Danio rerio). Known for its brilliant golden sheen and lively behavior, this fish is a favorite among aquarists of all experience levels.

🌿 Behavior & Temperament

Golden Zebra Danios are peaceful and highly social fish. They thrive best when kept in groups of at least six, as schooling reduces stress and encourages natural activity. They are constantly on the move, creating a lively display in any freshwater tank.

🌊 Tank Setup & Care

These danios are extremely hardy and adaptable, making them ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Provide a minimum of 10 gallons with open swimming space and some plants or decorations for shelter. They tolerate a wide range of water parameters but prefer cooler, well-oxygenated water with gentle flow.

Regular water changes, good filtration, and stable temperature will keep them healthy and vibrant. They are jumpers, so a secure aquarium lid is recommended.

🍽️ Feeding

Golden Zebra Danios are omnivorous and readily accept a variety of foods:

• High-quality flake or micro pellet food

• Occasional treats of frozen or live foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp

A balanced diet enhances their color and vitality.

🧬 Breeding

Breeding is straightforward in the right conditions. Provide fine-leaved plants or a spawning mop for eggs to fall into, as adults may eat them. Maintain slightly warmer water (around 26°C / 79°F) and feed well for best results.
