Comments: This is a Premium Pet Fish, and we never see Premium Danio like these in any of the live fish stores that we visit.

Premium Pet Fish are more energetic, hardier, and have brighter colors with a beautiful metallic sheen.

Origin: This species was discovered in 2006 in Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia.

This fish is produced in large quantities by fish farmers, and it now lives in many aquariums throughout most of the world.

But this is still a relatively rare aquarium fish.

Maximum Size: The maximum size of these fish in an aquarium is usually a little bit less than 1 inch.

But almost all fish continue to grow throughout their entire lives, so it's possible that old fish may occasionally grow to be unusually large.

Someday we might see one that's more than 1" long. ;^ }

Behaviors: These little guys are moderately active, and the males energetically quarrel with each other.

Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include small fish like, Harlequin Rasboras, Neon Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Guppies, Corydoras Catfish, Honey Gouramis, etc.

Temperature: They can live pretty well from about 76 to 84 degrees F., but they're probably most comfortable at about 80 degrees F.

Feeding: Premium Fish Food Flakes, which should be crushed into fine particles. Just put some flakes in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and squish the food for a while.

You can then use a slightly moistened toothpick to pick up some of the powder and dip the toothpick a couple of times in the aquarium water.
