Description
Zebra Danios are hardy, active, and peaceful schooling fish known for their distinctive horizontal black and white (or gold) stripes. They are popular among beginners due to their ease of care and lively nature, making them excellent additions to a community aquarium. These fish thrive in well-oxygenated tanks with plenty of swimming space and appreciate being kept in groups of six or more.
