Giant danio

Description:

The giant danio (Devario aequipinnatus) is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family Cyprinidae. Originating in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the west coast of India, this species grows to a maximum length of 4 inches (10 cm), making it one of the largest of the danionins. They are characterized by a blue and yellow, torpedo-shaped body with gray and clear fins

Habitat:

In the wild, giant danios live in clear streams and rivers among hills at elevations up to 1000 ft (300 m) above sea level. Their native substrate is small gravel. They are native to a tropical climate and prefer water with a 6-8 pH, a water hardness of 5.0-19.0 dGH, and a temperature range of 72-81°F (22-27°C). As surface dwellers, their diet consists predominantly of exogenous insects, but is also supplemented by worms and crustaceans.
