In my experience fish go from ill to dead very quickly, and this one hasnt.Ĭan anyone advise me on whether I've done the right thing, or whether I'm missing something?
ZEBRA DANIO SKIN
It hasnt really made any difference, and given the time frame and the lack of skin problems I've assumed that the fish is ok to go back in the main tank. I separated the danio into a separate small quarantine tank for a while and gave it a small dose of aquarium salt and a swimbladder treatment (I had to try something) as per the instructions for the tank size of 1 pipette per day for 4 days and then leaving alone for 4 days - I did this through one 8-day cycle. It is eating normally and is quite agile when chased etc. There are no spots/marks on the skin, and in fact the fish looks very healthy aside from that. It looks a bit bloated, but could be bearing eggs. All water levels are showing as normal.Īnyway, the reason for this post is that I noticed about 10 days ago that one of my zebra danios was dropping a lot at the tail and wasnt swimming normally. danios prefer groups larger than 3) and havent restocked due to the baby guppies. We suffered some unrelated losses about 2 months ago which explains the unusual numbers (i.e. I've got 2 zebra danios, 1 spotted danio, 1 bronze corydora, 5 neon tetras, 3 blue rainbow, 2 clown loach, 1 guppy and an ursery net containing 7 baby guppies (about 8 weeks old) and 10 shrimp. I've got a Scenic 80 tank (http /which has a number of small community fish in it. I'm not sure if this counts as an 'emergency' so apologise if I've posted it in the wrong place. Aggression isn't an enormous problem when you meet their needs.Hi everyone, I'm very new to this forum, and to keep fish (about 7 months experience). Generally, they're a sociable fish that can move into most tanks with ease, provided you care for them properly. We've talked about Zebra Danios' aggression a lot today, so it's important that we give you some tips about controlling this too.
ZEBRA DANIO HOW TO
How To Control Aggression Levels Of Zebra Danios The point is, be sensible about how many you keep, but make sure there are enough of them to keep each other busy to prevent aggression towards other tank mates. If you wanted to be more cautious and leave them a little more room, then you could reasonably opt to keep 10 of them together - giving them a healthy group size for protection and playing, whilst also making sure they have more than enough space to prevent them from becoming aggressive as a way of asserting dominance in a cramped tank. But if we divide our 25 gallons by 2, then we can keep around 12 Zebra Danios. However, erring on the side of caution is never a bad thing.įor example, the 25 gallon tank we spoke about earlier should have a minimum of 5-6 Zebra Danios. So, to workout how many you can keep in your tank at home, simply divide the amount of gallon space you have by 2, and that will tell you how many Zebra Danios can live there. However, it is possible to keep too many of them, so how do you make sure you don't cross that threshold? Well, there is a simple way to work it out.Ī single Zebra Danios requires 2 gallons of tank space to live a stress-free and content life. Now, we say that for Zebra Danios, the more there are of them together in a tank, the better it is for everyone involved.
