There are many tropical fish species, and today we share with you a kind of tropical fish suitable for beginners. It is affordable and easy to feed. Most importantly, it is also very ornamental. It is a Danio rerio.
 
The Danio rerio looks very beautiful and has a body length of 4 to 6cm. The fish body is in the shape of a spindle. Its back is olive-colored. Some silver-blue vertical stripes stretch from the body side to branchial mantle. Its anal fin also has longitudinal stripes similar to the body color, and the caudal fin is long and fork-shaped. The group of companions swims together, like the zebras on the prairie.
 
According to our experience, Danio rerio is a kind of fish that is easy to keep for beginners only if we can control water quality and keep a group of them. As we all know, aquarium filter plays a high role in the water quality of the fish tank. So it is important and necessary for us to choose a good

Danio rerio is native to streams in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other countries. It prefers to live in weak acid and weakly hard water. If tap water is used as its aquarium water, it is necessary to remove chlorine by exposuring under the sun. It is also good to place landscaping stones and rot the wood in the tank and place pebbles on the bottom of the fish tank. Keeping some aquatic plants like crown grass in the fish tank can purify the water and add the beauty of fishes. The living characteristics of Danio rerio are very similar to humans, suitable water temperature is around 25-28 °C.
 
 
Danio rerios like to live in groups and become depressed when they are kept alone. If it is kept alone, it tends to hide in the corner of the fish tank. Its polyculture is divided into the same type polyculture and different types of polyculture. Danio rerios of different species can be mixed and copulated for stable gene. But don't mix high-quality genes with poor-quality genes, otherwise, genetic degradation will occur. Danio rerios have a mild temperament, do not like fighting, and have poor self-protection. It is not recommended to be mixed with ferocious aquatic animals. Besides, feeding and
light are also important to them. But they can adapt to new environments very soon. If you are a fish keeping beginner, you can try to keep danio rerios.
