As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

Zebra Danio
Origin: India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh - Found in streams, canals, ditches, ponds and slow-moving to
stagnant standing water bodies, particularly rice-fields.
Temperament: Peaceful. Community fish that should be kept in small
schools.
Feeding: Feed with normal or vegetable flakes, or live foods. Keep
some finely leaved plants in the tank.
Sexing:
The male has smaller yellow stripes
between its black lines, while the females have a background of silver. Females more round
and wider.
Comments: Very inexpensive and easy to keep. Excellent fish to use
as a first egg layer to spawn and small fry to raise. Best kept in schools.
The Zebra Danio boasts an instantly recognizable striped,
zebra pattern. A perennial favorite of freshwater enthusiasts, Danio rerio
is either silver or gold with five uniform blue/purple stripes that stretch
horizontally from the gill to the end of the tail. The Zebra Danio is a highly
active swimmer, especially when kept in small schools.
Native to the Ganges region in Eastern India, wild Zebra
Danios are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from fast-moving streams to
slow-moving, nearly stagnant ponds. In the home aquarium, this member of the
Cyprinidae family prefers a well-planted aquarium with large open swimming
areas. For best care, keep this peaceful fish in small schools with equally
non-aggressive fish. Since they are omnivores, feed the Zebra Danio a varied
diet of flake and frozen foods.
Male Zebra Danios are generally more torpedo shaped, while females tend to
have a larger belly. Generally, male Zebra Danios spawn with and remain loyal to
one female. A breeding pair should be placed in a breeding aquarium with
fine-leaved plants for them to spawn over. Roughly 300-400 eggs are produced and
hatch within two days. The fry should be fed small pieces of live foods, such as
brine shrimp.
