Often called the Zebrafish for its shimmery Zebra stripes, an active and curious disposition make these guys a wonderful community nano fish!
This species (Brachydanio rerio) is originally from India, and are bred for long, fluttery angel fins! You'll love watching these guys dance around.
These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will grow to a maximum of 2.5 inches.
They are peaceful and absolutely love live food such as brine shrimp, Artemia, and other micro fauna. While omnivorous, be sure to feed them a higher protein diet with a bit of vegetable flake here and there.
