How to keep Zebra danio
The Zebra Danio will be an easy breed to keep. The life span of the Zebra Danio is approximately 2 to 3 years. Their body size is about 5 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water, with a pH range of 5.5 to 8.5. Zebra danio are classified as a tropical fish, so if you keep them in Japan, you will need a heater in the winter.Due to their swimming habit (active swimming), they may jump out of the aquarium, so be sure to use glass plates or other measures to prevent this.
A heater is a device that maintains a constant water temperature. If you go to a specialty store that carries heaters, you will find a wide variety of types. Some people may be at a loss as to which one to choose. In this article, we would like to explain about such heaters [...]
Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the Zebra danio has a docile disposition. Therefore, they can be mixed with other breeds. However, the Zebra Danio is a very active species, so when mixing it with a slow swimmer, be sure to check that the slow swimmer is eating well.Also, if the species you are mixing zebra danio with is territorial or aggressive, the red fins may be attacked, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress. If the species you wish to mix with is aggressive, it is recommended that you take measures such as adding water plants or ornaments so that they can escape if they are chased.
Points about spawning
Many people who keep Zebra danio want to breed them. Zebra danio are easy to keep, but breeding them is a little more difficult. However, if you know the procedure well, you will be able to increase the number of Zebra Danio in a stable manner.
The first is to keep individuals that are suitable for breeding.Zebra danios have a lifespan of about 3 years, so the time until they are ready to breed is short, roughly 4 to 6 months after birth. If you wish to breed them, it is important to select relatively young individuals when purchasing them from specialty stores. It is also necessary to distinguish between male and female zebra danio. Here, it is important to distinguish between males and females. The male Zebra Danio is slimmer and the female is fuller in the abdomen. However, it is difficult to tell them apart when they are small. As they grow older, the female's belly will gradually become fuller, and you will be able to clearly distinguish male and female. If you want a male or female for sure, we recommend that you ask the staff at a specialty store.
The second thing to do is to prepare a breeding tank.As is common for those who have bred killifish, if the parents (adults) and fry (young) are kept in the same tank after successful spawning and hatching, they may compete for food and the adults may eat the fry, resulting in a decrease in the number of fry. Also, be aware that zebra danio may eat the eggs themselves. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that the parents and fry be kept in separate tanks for easier management. However, unlike killifish, zebra danio are tropical fish, so heaters are recommended during non-summer months. If you are not sure whether or not to purchase a heater for the tank in which you will keep the fry, you may be able to find equipment at specialty stores that will allow you to borrow part of the tank in which you are keeping the parents to make space for the fry.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

What to look for when keeping a Zebra Danio
The Zebra Danio is recommended for its ease of keeping and mixed swimming. However, in general, the Zebra Danio is not as popular as the Neon Tetra or Guppy. This is because of its swimming ability, which is one of the characteristics of the Zebra Danio. When you see zebra danio in specialty stores, they are restless and always moving.This is the result of the evolution of the zebra danio to prevent it from being captured by enemies. However, for those who keep them for their relaxing effect, it can be irritating for them to be constantly on the move. This has spread through the Internet and word-of-mouth, and has created a bad image in many parts of the world. Therefore, it is important to note that Zebra danio may not be suitable for those who want to appreciate tropical fish slowly or for those who do not like varieties that move around a lot. Also, be aware that when you remove the glass cover during a water change, the fish may be startled and jump out of the water. If you are interested in Zebra Danio, we recommend that you take a look at Zebra Danio at a specialty store.
