Additional information (Wiki):
The care of members of the genus
Danio are rather similar and easily
generalized. They are easy to keep.
All of these fish are primarily surface
feeders. They are omnivorous in the
aquarium and will accept a wide variety
of foods, though flake food is
appropriate. Living in aquaria, live/frozen
flaked foods are suitable, especially
brine shrimp and sinking tablets. Danios
are voracious eaters; take care so that
timid feeders do not starve in community
tanks with danios. When conditioning
Danios for breeding, it's advisable to
feed them plenty of fresh foods.
Although boisterous and liable to chase
each other and other fish, they are good
community fish and will not generally
attack each other or other fish,
although they occasionally nip fins,
more by accident than design and will,
like most fish, eat eggs and any fish
small enough to fit into their mouths.
