Best kept in groups of 6 or more for comfort and natural schooling behavior. Provide plenty of open swimming space along with plants and décor. A secure-fitting lid is important, as danios are excellent jumpers. Temperament: Behavior: Peaceful, active, and highly social. Enjoys schooling and displays its best colors and behavior in groups. Constantly explores the upper and middle levels of the aquarium. Compatibility: Excellent for community aquariums with tetras, rasboras, livebearers, corydoras, and other peaceful fish.

Additional Notes: Longfin Gold Leopard Danios are omnivores and readily accept high-quality flakes, small pellets, and frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Their hardy nature makes them suitable for a variety of water conditions, though they thrive best in clean, well-oxygenated aquariums with moderate water movement. Their striking golden color, flowing fins, and nonstop activity make them a lively centerpiece in any peaceful community tank.
