Danio Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Danio as Pet Fish

The genus Danio is made up of 25 species. The name 'danio' is derived from the Bangla name dhani, which means "of the rice field." Danios are native to the fresh water rivers and streams of South and Southeast Asia. Most Danios have two pairs of long barbels (which look like whiskers), a long horizontal stripe, vertical bars and neat rows of spots. In the wild the Danio's consists of other small fish, small aquatic insects, worms, plankton, crustaceans and even their own fry. In the aquarium they become omnivores and will happily eat any standard fish food. It is important to note that Danios are aggressive eaters and may cause more timid species to starve in community tanks. Due to their interesting appearance and ease of feeding the Danio genus has become a very popular aquatic pet. Before purchasing any fish it is important to understand that as a fish owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your fish. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the fish you are considering to keep. You need to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your fish with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a Danio's basic needs to help you provide your fish with the best quality care and aquarium practices. This guide also goes into the benefits of cycling, having a decent filtration system, plants and how to plant them. This book was previously published by 'Fish Care Manuals' under the same name.
