Food and feeding

Rose danios will accept all foods offered, use a quality flake or small pellets for the staple diet but also give these fish treats twice a week of live or frozen foods. Brine shrimp, daphnia and tubifex are ideal.

Origin

Asia; Rose danios are to be found in Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.

Sexing

Females tend to be larger than the males with a stockier body shape.

Breeding

Add Java moss or spawning mops to the breeding tank to let the eggs settle into. Another option is to use marbles for the substrate; this will allow the eggs to fall into the crevices as they are laid. The danios will normally spawn at day break, scattering their eggs around the tank. Once spawning is complete, remove the parents and the eggs should hatch after 24-36 hours. Once the fry are free swimming they can be fed on Infusoria.

Lifespan

The expected life span for Danio roseus is 5 years.

Short description

Danio roseus are very peaceful and should be kept in small groups of at least 6 specimens. They do well in a community tank but prefer the cooler end of the temperature range.
