Big thank you to Cory from Aquarium Co-Op for being a part of this video, if you don't know already he has one of the best websites on the internet for all things fish keeping, check it out! bit.ly/2yldZHQ
My favorite story. As a teen age guy, a local fish store was shutting down. I offered to buy a display tank from them. So they call and say your tank is ready ( a 40 long I think). It was the "Plant tank" and filled with algae. They drained it and I took it home, in October in Buffalo, Ny. Put the tank in the back yard and hosed it out for 30 mins with cold, chlorine, public water. I left it full to soften the old algae. It got down to 40 * that night. The next day I come out and there was a Zebra swimming around. It had been in the wet gravel for hours, then dosed with hose water, and lasted the night. I had that fish for years after. I use Zebras to cycle new tanks, fun and great fish! Thanks for your videos!
@@mikaelafox6106 The first fish in a tank, to build up bacteria. Now with several tanks, I can get active bacteria from other filters to help start. Zebras are very hearty fish.
Chuck Schmidt Thanks that makes a lot of sense. I’m only a year into fish keeping so I feel I’m still white a newbie. Definitely glad for all information. I always overlooked these fish. Maybe I’ll look more into them now!
Chuck Schmidt what a god damm champ!!! I thought my fish were hardcore when they just survived a medication overdose. 2X the tank water dosage with the temp at 80 degrees F. My neon tetras all died with the last one dying right now and all my mollies wanted to do was eat and mate. Not a single care was given by them throughout the whole tank meltdown. I’m loving these hardcore breeds.
@@danioking5369 thanks for the comment stranger. I'm looking for an active small fish to make my tank a bit more active, since my neon tetra school is a bit inactive and shy. You probably saved me from a lot of regret lol... They would probably scare my neons
My first ever 6 gallon nano tank had 2 zebra danios, shortly after they started growing (rather large, in fact!) I moved them to a 29 gallon and added 5 more leopard long fins. They are by far my favorite small community fish and I could not be happier that I started with them! I’m afraid I wouldn’t appreciate them as much if I hadn’t kept them first. They are easy to overlook. But man, do I love my danios!
I started off with a school of 6 White Clouds in my 10G, and they have really grown on me. They use every layer of the tank, and sometimes when I look in there, I can’t even see them because they are exploring the bottom, in and around my plants and driftwood. They don’t just swim back and forth all day long. It is also fun to watch them chase each other around. Cool little fish, especially when in a group.
I got Danios for my brand new 10 gallon tank for my office and I love them! So much fun! Also, thanks for putting out great content. I tried looking at other Danio videos just to learn more, but the quality of your videos is just so much better than others on TH-cam!
Danios can tank jump. They are very curious and playful which means they’re smart. They go stir crazy if they can’t entertain themselves so they jump to get out. They definitely need environmental enrichment and a bare tank or one that’s too small stresses them out and is no good for them. I’ve seen them throwing pebbles in the water with their mouths and re-catching them. I’ve seen them do the same thing with water snails, bouncing them back and forth between each other. Amazing little fish. Entertain them with an interesting environment. Really important.
Lol I love how you start and end with "They're crazy" XD Yes, there truly is never a dull (or still) moment with these fish. Personal favourite is the Kyathit danio, gotta love those bright orange fins and blue stripes! Are the White Cloud Minnows actually a member of the danio family? I thought this was a mislabel. Due to their high activity level, I would hesitate to put them with significantly slower or long-finned fish. I've had cases where they've even nipped the tails of my long-finned cherry barbs. Plus they might tire or stress out other fish like bettas or angelfish that might feel like they constantly have to be on guard with these guys zooming around. However, they make a fantastic pairing with semi-aggressive tetras or barbs that might be tough to pair with other community fish. Blue, emperor, and silvertip tetras come to mind. Danios have a very similar personality to these types of tetras IMO, and I've had them get along great! Thanks for all the cool info about these guys!
I just got 9 Rose Danios to join my out of control dwarf crawfish colony...its a blast to watch! They have joined the three little clown killis I have and the little killis dont seem to mind them at all. The crays, on the other hand, are exhausted by the energy of the danios. It keeps them on their toes and so fun to watch how they react to fish faster then their pincers. They have almost given up being defensive. Haha!
I have 4 Giant Danios in my 40 breeder and they actually school with the 5 really large Buenos Aires Tetras. Fast aggressive feeders as well. Great video.
@@Thirsty4Thirst They are good! We got 5, (tank is only a 5 gal, so couldn’t do a big school) and one passed within two days of getting them in (tank pre-cycled) but the 4 remaining are strong and happy and energetic and entertaining. They recognize which of my 3 kids feeds them and visibly get more excited when he is near the tank. I have noticed when I clean the water they are not huge waste producers, but I did have a beta and a large mystery snail on there previously that were both pooping machines, so probably not the best comparison. But, yes, very happy with them, and they function as a great night time calming strategy for my autistic son. Between them and the ambient light of the fish tank itself, it helps him a lot.
Blue danios and 24k gold white clouds are among the most beautiful freshwater fishes in my opinion. With good water quality, good lighting, and the right background/substrate, these fish pop.
I just started a 20 long over the weekend and have 4 zebras getting it cycled. My plans were to make it a one species tank with glo light or neon tetras, but I’m now considering making it a zebra tank. It’s not something most would think about as it’s not a super flashy fish, but they remind me of miniature trout and their rambunctiousness is certainly entertaining to watch. I put a taller 2 foot long piece of fake driftwood in the tank and they swim through the openings in it . I’ll be adding live plants later on down the road.
I'm currently thinking of getting rid of my ceestial danios and buying a nice group of giant danios for my 100 gallon. I'd lose my mind with excitement if I had a 500 gallon to stalk with fish lol 😆
Thank you sooo much for a danio video. I want to get them and have been scouring the internet for care/fact videos. In the Future could you maybe do a video on honey gourami? I love your channel it is so informative and entertaining 😁
This is how tough a danio is. At the pet store the lady who waited on me accidently missed the bag and the fish ended up on the floor and after she got more fish for me I noticed the danio wasn't there. I found the danio on the floor. She picked up the fish and before she got him in the bag she dropped him a 2nd time. I took him home anyway, his fine and swimming all over the place.
Yes , Zebra Danio are great aquarium fish for beginners , I started them to feed on mosquito larvae in almost a big vase , shame on me! They graduated to my community tank with Neon Tetras later on with no problem! Have to give them away when started working overseas , but yes , still remembered them fondly! Nowadays I noticed the good varieties of those leopard zebra danio , enjoy looking at on the TH-cam! Thank You So Much for the Valuable Tutorials on Fish Keeping! Stay Safe & Stay Humble! 🕯🌷🌿
So, a white cloud is a danio? This is good news. I am waiting for my first tank to be ready for fish. It has been running for 3 weeks, the plants will be here next week - Thanks Cory. I have it designed to look like the edge of a pond and want only one kind of fish, some shrimp and snails. I have been wanting White Clouds all along but I also want Danios. Now I can have both!
I like to put Danio in with stuff like guppies, molly and neon tetras. They do work out well with different tetras like black skirts and white fin tetras, dwarf guarumi and other moderate aggressive fish. Not generally something for barbs tanks.
I'm not sure why, but I just really love all your videos. I have glowlight danios and love them -- started w/ 10 or 12 and now have at least 20 -- just moved them into a 75G community tank with corys, 6 melonotania rainbows + 6 12+ silvertip tetras. I need a few taller plants, but they're loving the bigger space so far!!!
I can't wait to restart a smallish tank up and all I've been thinking about to serve as the main attraction has been zebra danios. Hardy, not fussy, playful, a great choice for almost any aquarium. :)
Just got 6 colorfull danios on my 1st ever tank. A 15 gallons tank. They look amaizing in it. So cool to watch them swim around with those bright colors
Oh, and Cory, thanks for being an ambassador for goldies too :) I've been keeping them for the last 3 years and love them but hate the way they eat plants ! :)
Watching them try to eat something too big for them is HILARIOUS btw 😂 they will munch and munch and chew and chew for like 20 mins straight all WHILE dodging other danios trying to steal the food right out of their mouth lmao. These fish are BRATS 😂 I love em
I have one danio and she is fin-nipping other fish. Do I have to buy more danios to company with her and will that lower her fin-nipping habit? i am concerned that all other new bought danios might also become fin-nippers and I will have not just one but a few fin-nippers in the tank.
One day I went to a fish shop and saw a bunch of pink fish that were so beautiful. I bought 3 of them and was told they are pink danios. I thought they will be hard to keep as they are so beautiful and you know beautiful fish die easily. Turned out they are so hardy and easy to keep ! I bought another 3 zebra danios. Now I have 6 in my 5 gallon.
I kept the Danios Rerio, Choprae and frankei (the black dot's one).. that was really amazing and really cool for having them. But There is something that was going wrong. all the little dies and only the bigger was still alive...after that I lost a lot of them when it was really so hot outside... Also, they eat a lot. They are always looking for food, take precautions. Choprae are beautilful, but they are more sensitive then Rerio. The most crazy when I saw 2 rerio becoming blue gray mettalique with black lines and orange fin's (maybe trying to hang out with the choprea?)...Wow !
Nice job,got to meet you and your guest at Aquatic Experience.love my gold white clouds (But John you still haven’t converted me to cichlids) still love your videos.
I used Zebra danios for a fish in cycle, started off with 5, ended up buying 5 more because they are very interesting fish. Had them for close to a year before giving them to my bff to put in her 55g tank.
Great tips for beginners. I'd like to see you guys do a 10 things segment on wild bettas specifically Wild plakat Fighters. That's what I'm keeping & breeding.
I have two silver and black tetras and one minnow. They are what is left plus a ufo and sucker fish. 10 gallon tank. Could I put danios in and how many. My silver and black tetras have been depressed lately not moving around. I thought maybe some new friends would help. Opinion? My other tank has six frogs and two nerite snails. Would fish work in that tank? Always kept it separate. Two filters in each tank, constant 80 degrees, cleaned weekly. Plastic plants in both tanks. Frog tank I feed worms, flakes in the fish tank. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
I have a small group of celestial danios, but now I'm thinking of getting rid of them and adding a group of giant danios instead 🤔 They'd do great in my 100 gallon!
@@MattKeepsFish Since I only have space for the one tank I plan on putting an Oscar in the tank at some point down the road(along with a few other appropriate sized cichlids), but that won't be for a while. I have 3 plecos in there that I'm growing out until they're big enough not to get eaten by the oscar, which can take a good year. Until they grow to a safe size the tank is going to be a nice little community tank. I currently have some balloon mollies, some danios(which I'm going to replace with a few giant danios), a pearl gourami, 2 beautiful rams(1 blk and 1 white with an orange head), 7 albino cory catfishes, and a few snails(because, why not). I'm sure there are 1 or 2 more fish I missed, but its a fairly stocked 100 gallon.
They are the best! I couldn't help but lean back and watch my Barilius ardens for the course of this video, and just nod my head in agreement with everything you said.
I have 5 giant danio in my 110 gallon. When they were younger I had them in a 36 and they made my live bearers and dwarf gourami's crazy because they were so spastic. Between the tank being bigger and being in with Severum and Electric Blue Acara - they are a little less hyper.
Hi, I have a 30gallon tank woth 15 danios and 2 dwarf gouramis and I want to add a little more fish. Any suggestions on what I could add? Can guppies live with my danios?
I'm planning to put some in my outdoor pond. It does freeze over in the winter, but from what I have heard they should be okay. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Just found this video. I love my golden leopard and golden clouds. They act like they have had too much caffeine. Trying to catch that last danio to move to a newer bigger tank was a nightmare. I swear the other danios I had previously moved were laughing lol.
I have a pearl danio who’s about an inch and a half in a 5 gallon with a betta a Amano shrimp it is in there because all the other ones died to my Madagascar rainbow fish 😢 I am keeping him in there till I get more or he dies is that ok?
I have a small school of zebra danios in my 90g tank, along with some blue neon dwarf rainbows and cory cats. The danios spend pretty much all day every day rushing in and out of the Java moss, with the rainbows and cories close behind getting free omelets! It's a lot of fun to watch the inter-species interactions.
I kept zebras, pearls and minnows before And a warning to keepers, if one of your stockier fish suddenly looks bloated but is still very healthy, don’t worry its a she. And I know this is about dainos but for those that want a tetra that acts like a daino, Conchu’s King Blue. I might even argue they’re even more crazy.
They are super bullet proof, but make sure you have a TIGHT fitting lid, and I mean little to no gaps. I am amazed at they way in which they can end up on the floor.
Just bought 10 danios for my 20 gallon. May upgrade them to a 30 in a few months and add a few more to the group. But they have not stopped moving since I got them. They keep zipping around the top of the tank. When I turned out the light they went crazy wild.
Hi, commenting here since I don’t know a better spot. Have you done a video that discusses how many fish an aquarium can hold? I was told 3 mollies, rainbow fish, and 2 frogs are perfect for a 10g. And then at the same store I’m told I should max out at 3 fish/ 2 frogs
Big thank you to Cory from Aquarium Co-Op for being a part of this video, if you don't know already he has one of the best websites on the internet for all things fish keeping, check it out! bit.ly/2yldZHQ

Wow that's amazing
Had no idea they were so energetic, just added some to my tank and everyone else is awakened by them. They remind me of my kids.
Great info! I love how everyone contributes to each others channel! Its made getting into the hobby really easy! Thank you!
I call danios zippy minnows, because ive never seen a danio stand still, and they are aways zipping around
True, never a dull moment with these ones. Yay Danios finally - one of my favourite group of fish! A new aquarium = danios first.

Danios need a bigger tank thsn that! They are highly athletic, very fast swimmers! Wouldn't keep them in under 3' tank.
Except for those people who put fish in vases... shame on you!
That's how you become a smex smife
Why do they sell them at the pet shop then
I don't but it depends on size buddy
I really wish they would just make fish bowls and keeping fish in vases illegal.
Danios can tank jump. They are very curious and playful which means they’re smart. They go stir crazy if they can’t entertain themselves so they jump to get out. They definitely need environmental enrichment and a bare tank or one that’s too small stresses them out and is no good for them. I’ve seen them throwing pebbles in the water with their mouths and re-catching them. I’ve seen them do the same thing with water snails, bouncing them back and forth between each other.

Sorry for this, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 10? For the record, I love your channel.
I have two silver and black tetras and one minnow. They are what is left plus a ufo and sucker fish. 10 gallon tank. Could I put danios in and how many. My silver and black tetras have been depressed lately not moving around. I thought maybe some new friends would help. Opinion? My other tank has six frogs and two nerite snails. Would fish work in that tank? Always kept it separate. Two filters in each tank, constant 80 degrees, cleaned weekly. Plastic plants in both tanks. Frog tank I feed worms, flakes in the fish tank. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
who else is already thinking of a tank design for theses guys
Already done. 40 gallon
I have a small group of celestial danios, but now I'm thinking of getting rid of them and adding a group of giant danios instead 🤔
They'd do great in my 100 gallon!
@@stephengonsalves9705 Whoa. They would do great in a hundred gallon. What with?
@@MattKeepsFish Since I only have space for the one tank I plan on putting an Oscar in the tank at some point down the road(along with a few other appropriate sized cichlids), but that won't be for a while.
I have 3 plecos in there that I'm growing out until they're big enough not to get eaten by the oscar, which can take a good year. Until they grow to a safe size the tank is going to be a nice little community tank.
I currently have some balloon mollies, some danios(which I'm going to replace with a few giant danios), a pearl gourami, 2 beautiful rams(1 blk and 1 white with an orange head), 7 albino cory catfishes, and a few snails(because, why not). I'm sure there are 1 or 2 more fish I missed, but its a fairly stocked 100 gallon.
@@stephengonsalves9705 You’re playing the long game. That can be hard to do, but we’ll worth it. Good luck on the result!
Great video! #8 is my favorite thing about Danios - They are community friendly!
I want to get some for my new 125 gallon planted tank 👍😉💛
You guys are the best thanks so much
Nice job! My 'go to' dither fish for Discus and Angelfish.
Got 5 of them in a 10 G tank. Lovely rugged fish.
They are the best! I couldn't help but lean back and watch my Barilius ardens for the course of this video, and just nod my head in agreement with everything you said.
I have 5 giant danio in my 110 gallon. When they were younger I had them in a 36 and they made my live bearers and dwarf gourami's crazy because they were so spastic. Between the tank being bigger and being in with Severum and Electric Blue Acara - they are a little less hyper.
what species or morph is 0:54 exactly. Ive never seen these ones
I started with zebras and love them
I have introduced barbs since and they seem to be good 👍🤷:)
I'm thinking of doing a 40 gallon as my first planted tank, and possibly adding celestial pearl danios...the planning is half the fun!
Love my Danios! They are such a characterful fish with some beautiful patterns!
Hi, I have a 30gallon tank woth 15 danios and 2 dwarf gouramis and I want to add a little more fish. Any suggestions on what I could add? Can guppies live with my danios?
I'm planning to put some in my outdoor pond. It does freeze over in the winter, but from what I have heard they should be okay. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If it freezes maybe the medaka are better
I tottaly agree with you....The frase I always used to say is ""they are super crazy"
What sort of Danio were the yellowish leapord print ones?
I love you and your wife's video's sir . you do good work and your advice and info is second to none .
Talkin" energetic!" 😊
I just had my 20gall. Tank and I had colorful danios, and I must agree,, they're hard core cute little creatures ❤️👍,
Just found this video. I love my golden leopard and golden clouds. They act like they have had too much caffeine. Trying to catch that last danio to move to a newer bigger tank was a nightmare. I swear the other danios I had previously moved were laughing lol.
How are these with black neon tetras?
Just discovered this video. I've subscribed and hit the bell 🔔
I put some kind of danio in all tanks! They are fun to watch for sure
Are they compatible with betta fish ?
Literaly, because of this video, I bought danios, pinks and blacks...and no regret whatsoever.
...the is never dull moment with this fish. :)
I have a pearl danio who’s about an inch and a half in a 5 gallon with a betta a Amano shrimp it is in there because all the other ones died to my Madagascar rainbow fish 😢 I am keeping him in there till I get more or he dies is that ok?
I have a small school of zebra danios in my 90g tank, along with some blue neon dwarf rainbows and cory cats. The danios spend pretty much all day every day rushing in and out of the Java moss, with the rainbows and cories close behind getting free omelets! It's a lot of fun to watch the inter-species interactions.
Thank you for all these videos they are really helpful and they really help me back when I got my first 10g! Now I'm enjoying my 30g Thank you guys!
I kept zebras, pearls and minnows before
And a warning to keepers, if one of your stockier fish suddenly looks bloated but is still very healthy, don’t worry its a she.
And I know this is about dainos but for those that want a tetra that acts like a daino, Conchu’s King Blue. I might even argue they’re even more crazy.
I have an 8 gallon nano and I was wondering, besides the celestial danio, are there any other danio species that are on the smaller side?
Indestructable fish pretty much. i would say White Cloud Mountain Minnows are a close second. I kept both in a large school and it looks great.
I want to buy that celestial pearls. But they are a bit hard to find
Tristan Juatco
Definitely I’ve only found one store that had them in my area and they we’re $8 lol 😂
@@joshszooofanimals5416 where?
Tristan Juatco
A store in Pennsylvania lol
@@joshszooofanimals5416 lol. That is lol. I'm here in New Jersey. Still a bit too far
I believe you can get them at GetGills.com
They are super bullet proof, but make sure you have a TIGHT fitting lid, and I mean little to no gaps. I am amazed at they way in which they can end up on the floor.
Just bought 10 danios for my 20 gallon. May upgrade them to a 30 in a few months and add a few more to the group. But they have not stopped moving since I got them. They keep zipping around the top of the tank. When I turned out the light they went crazy wild.
Would they be good with apistos
#11: They also have cute lil barbels that come out when they're ready to eat!! ♥️♥️☺️☺️
I have some baby danios and a baby aurutus cichlid you think the cichlid might be a problem for them? And how many can I fit in a 75 gallon?
Zebra danios to be specific
Hi, commenting here since I don’t know a better spot. Have you done a video that discusses how many fish an aquarium can hold? I was told 3 mollies, rainbow fish, and 2 frogs are perfect for a 10g. And then at the same store I’m told I should max out at 3 fish/ 2 frogs
I just got my zebra danios and i was afraid that something was wrong with my aquarium because they were super super active. Great video, thanks!
Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻
