Additional information (Wiki):
Zebrafish are hardy fish and
considered good for beginner aquarists.
Their ease of keeping and breeding,
beauty, price, playful nature and broad
availability all contribute to their
popularity. They thrive best in 22–27 °C
(72–81 °F) water. They need an aquarium
of 10 gallons or more, and they do well
in schools.They also thrive as shoals of
six or more, and interact well with
other fish types in the aquarium.
However, they are susceptible to
Oodinium, or Velvet disease,
Microsporidia (Pseudoloma neurophilia),
and mycobacterium species. Given the
opportunity, adults eat hatchlings,
which may be protected by separating the
two groups with a net, breeding box or
separate tank.
