- The giant dan is personally my favorite schooling fish and one of the easiest and coolest fish you can keep in a freshwater aquarium. Perfect for occupying the top of the water column and hardy as they are and will eat anything makes them a perfect choice for beginners. Hope you guys found this helpful and thanks for watching.
I started the hobby a year or so ago, and these were my first fish. I got 4 of these along with 4 neon tetras in my 40 gallon and all of them are still alive. Never had an issue with them
These are truly great fish. I've got 5 with an angel in a 55 gal and no problem. They get a pinkish-grey-blue color that is really attractive. I'll never be without them.
Hands down one of my favorite freshwater fish!!
Absolutely agree with everything you said.
Giant Danio is easily one of the best aquarium fish out there with no heater needed. I’d have at least 25 in that giant tank, I have seven in a 40 breeder and they school tight.
The more you have the tighter they school.....
Have a good day pal.
These fish are awesome!
I've used them as dither fish in a 60 gallon African cichlid tank and not a single one ever showed any signs of stress or came close to being caught.
Yep, Im telling you they are one of the best fish in the freshwater hobby.
I agree Danios are great, I have 4 giants and 4 zebras which school together!
I have two of them and they are super cool
Great jumping Danios, Batman!
After spawning do you have to take the males out ?
I have 5 medium sized tetras, an angelfish, and lots of bottom dwellers. Will they be bothered by one?
They will not eat jumbo freeze dried shrimp! I just put some in my aquarium cuz I like to switch the food up every once in a while and give them treats. Well I accidentally dumped a few too many in and it freaked them out. The whole school went down to the bottom and wouldn’t come back up to the top, even after I scooped them out!
I love how your yo-go’s are swimming into the stream of water in your tank! They’re loving it.
Yah that might be to big of a food for them hahaha. Freeze dried shrimp is more for larger fish and they wouldn't be able to eat that as easy as per say flake foods. The danios do love flow also it is fun to watch them swim into the flow. Thanks for the comment.
Eagle Aquatics no problem.mine are acting strange though lately they are swimming at the bottom of the tank. They’re still very active, just staying towards the bottom of the tank.
Thats odd, try putting food on the top and letting it float they might come back up. Good Luck.
I have a tank with some slower fish like I have a angelfish and gouramis I want to know if they would pick on them because of how much they swim and how fast they are and I only have two I want to know if they will pick on them and if I can fix it in anyway, thanks
They will not mess with any other fish, they will just eat faster than the other fish.
I always wanted these maybe In future
Yah man definitely try them out.
These are amazing fish however they’re absolutely crazy jumpers, ive got a small cut out in my custom lid that’s around 3 inches and two of my danios have managed to jump out through the small cut out.
Oh yah those guys are nuts!!
Hey do you think I could put 5 or 6 of these will my pair of pink convicts in a 29 gallon?
Sure what the heck I would.
I have a 20g tank with 4 black Molly’s, if I got 2 giant danios, will they school with the Molly’s?
Probably not.
Would 6 be good in a 55 gallon with 16 tiger barbs, 6 Cory cats, 1 rainbow shark and a bristle nose pleco?
Yah for sure!
Giant danio are my favorite fish to keep I love them . I want some but my 60 gallon is stocked already. 9 rainbows 5 cherry Barb's 2 angelfish 2 Platys 1 swordtail. So I don't think 6/7 would fit . So I'm gonna either get another tank for some or re-home some of my rainbows . Might still not have enough room. I'd like to have 10 of them they are awesome.
You might be able to pull it off just not that many try like 3
I got ten today I plan on getting 10 more In a couple of weeks.
I have a giant Danio with a rainbow shark and a blue gourami, is that ok in a 38 gallon tank? Should I add another Giant Danio or 2?
Yah thats totally fine, you can definitally add more than one danio
They like to bolt around lol
Hi please tell me what fish is you have with black spot near the tail n two black spot in the tail love those fishes don't know their name
Those are filament barbs
@@EagleAquatics Thanks for the info
New sub here. I just bought 6 to go in my 75 and was wondering what to set the heater at.
Start by setting it low because most heaters are off by a couple degrees. I would start by setting it at 75 degrees then measure the actual temp with a thermometer and adjust accordingly.
I have small danios but when i want to clean tge tank they attack my arm and i have 8 and they attack at the same time they like pirhanas
They are hungry little guys but they wont hurt ya.
Yeah now its like a normal thing for me now i feel tickles when they bite my hand but a question my siamese algae eater is chasing them is something bad ?
Not really, some fish do that but that algae eater cant really do anything to them cause he doesnt have a mouth that can bit.
You think 4 of these will go good with one big male Salvini in a 40 Gallon? I just need him to be more active.
Yah for sure these are great dither fish.
Eagle Aquatics Thanks!
Would they eat white cloud minnows?
More than likely no but once they grow they might.
What else do you have in the tank?
Way to many different species to list.
Can I put one of these in with a school of zebra danios?
Honestly I wouldnt, these guys may bully the tiny zebras
Eagle Aquatics aw, ok. Know anything about keeping gouramis?
What size tank is that
125g tank
Also It is a 40 gallon tank
what type of loach is that
Those are yoyo botia loaches.
Eagle Aquatics thx
They do well in an unheated tank too.
@@Booneville2024 why would you be in Antarctica
Can I keep them in a 15g?
I can see one or two in that size tank, but I would stick to smaller danios like zebra or pearl danios.
20g min
What's that gold one called?
Not sure which one you are talking about sorry.
Thats a female Glossolepis incisus.
These giant danios are the most friendliest and calm type fish I have seen...they are kinda over enthusiastic....but go with a lot of fishes including shubunkin goldfishes
Their cousins zebra danios are naughty and would pack up together and kill the fish they dont like as a pack...zebras hate slow moving fishes
Really, zebras are tiny and ive found them to be friendly.
@@EagleAquatics zebras hate slow moving fish with long tails..
it's funny, i also had one danio that was "the boss" he was the largest, the only problem i had is that he was running off all the other fish from the top of the tank, so i named him godzilla and now he has his own 15 gal.
i know schooling fish, except he was beating up the other ones, maybe i'll get him a crayfish buddy
There yah go.
Whats the stripped looking fishes that swimming up and down lol
Giant Danios?
Can we see a feeding video with this tank?
Yah for sure. I'll be sure to make one in my upcoming videos. Thanks for the request.
What's big fish with black dot double tail red and yellow in your tank?
Those a filament barbs.
I see these are kinda aggressive I have them and I’m using them to cycle my tank and I’m thinking I might have to take em out for 1-2 inch arowana peacock bass and red tail cat fish
You shouldn't have to, these guys are some of the most peaceful freshwater fish there are. They just move a lot. I have never experienced them attacking any of my other fish.
Eagle Aquatics update they killed my arowana in hours 😭
@@lanz2659 seems highly doubtful they would kill an arowana. Im sure it was more likely a cycling issue.
I've successfully kept them with Neon Tetras.
What’s the ph?
Not sure, dont test for it.
Ok
6.5 to 7.5 for these danios 7.2 is what they are use to in the wild.
I just got two danios and they are very aggressive with the little fish
Sometimes they will chase smaller fish but this is normal, In my opinion, i dont think these fish aim to kill smaller species.
you can't catch them if you want to move them out!
I got lucky and caught them
How much for a 60 gallon
You could probably get a good school of them going, maybe 5 or 6.
