The Spotted Danio fish (Danio nigrofasciatus) is a hardy and energetic freshwater fish that makes an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Prized for its distinctive spotted pattern, peaceful temperament, and active schooling behavior, the Spotted Danio is a versatile species that thrives in community aquariums of all sizes.
Native to clear streams and rivers in Myanmar, the Spotted Danio is a small cyprinid related to the popular Zebra Danio. Unlike the striped pattern of its cousin, these Danio features a unique series of dark spots along its silvery-gold body, giving it a distinctive and attractive appearance. Their constant activity, hardiness, and adaptability make them a favorite among aquarists looking for a reliable schooling fish.
The Spotted Danio fish grows to an adult size of about 1.5–2 inches (4–5 cm), making it an ideal nano and community fish. Their shimmering bodies reflect light beautifully, while their spotted markings create visual interest in any tank. When kept in groups, their synchronized swimming adds movement and life to your aquarium.
Spotted Danios are peaceful, schooling fish that thrive when kept in groups of at least 6 or more. They are fast, active swimmers that prefer the upper and middle levels of the tank. Compatible with a wide variety of tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras, Guppies, Corydoras, and other small community fish, Spotted Danios are an excellent choice for planted and community setups.
