    Blue Danio

    Origins:Southeast Asia, being restricted to the Koh Yao islands of Thailand.
    Size: 2"
    Diet:Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 72-77F; soft (50 mg/l) and acidic to neutral (pH 6.5-7.0)
    Temperament:Lively, active, shoaling fish.

    A pair of parallel, yellowish stripes along the side of the bluish body is the key feature of this species. Blue Danios will breed readily in the home aquarium, with the female simply dispersing her eggs over the base of the spawning tank. It taks about four days for the eggs to hatch. These fish, like all danios, are quite capable of leaping out of their tank, so make sure it is always covered.
