The Golden Zebra Danio, a striking freshwater fish, is a color variation of the Zebra Danio (Danio rerio). It stands out with its vibrant golden hue, accented by horizontal stripes that run from head to tail, giving it a zebra-like appearance. This small, active species, typically reaching about 5-7 cm in length, is known for its playful demeanor and fast swimming. They are a hardy choice for both novice and experienced aquarists, adapting well to a variety of aquarium settings. Golden Zebra Danios are schooling fish and thrive in groups, displaying more natural behavior and reduced stress when kept with several of their kind. They are known for their hearty appetite and enjoy a well-planted tank with plenty of space to swim.

Feeding: Golden Zebra Danios are omnivores and should be fed a varied diet, including flakes, pellets, frozen or live foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms.

Water Quality: These fish prefer a pH level between 6.0 and 8.0 and thrive in soft to moderately hard water.

Ideal Aquarium Size: Golden Zebra Danios do well in an aquarium with a minimum size of 40 liters. They require a well-filtered tank with moderate to strong water flow and ample swimming space. Plants and hiding places are recommended to mimic their natural habitat.

A separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants or a spawning mop is recommended. The water should be slightly acidic to neutral.
