Danio fish are energetic, hardy freshwater aquarium fish prized for their constant movement, vibrant colors, and beginner-friendly care requirements. Native to South and Southeast Asia, danios—especially popular varieties like zebra danios and leopard danios—are fast-swimming schooling fish that thrive in community tanks. Their active nature makes aquariums feel lively, while their adaptability to a wide range of water conditions makes them ideal for new and experienced fish keepers alike. Danios prefer to be kept in groups of at least six, where they display natural schooling behavior and reduced aggression. With their strong disease resistance, long lifespan, and compatibility with many peaceful species, danio fish are an excellent choice for aquarists seeking low-maintenance, visually engaging freshwater fish.
