Danio kyathit

The Orange Finned Danio, also known as the Kyathit Danio, is a vibrant and energetic little fish that makes a fantastic addition to many community aquariums. Its peaceful nature and straightforward care requirements make it an excellent choice for those new to the hobby. These fish are constantly on the move, primarily exploring the upper and middle levels of the tank with impressive speed. Because they are social creatures, they feel most secure and display their best colors when kept in a group; a small school is essential for their well-being. A key thing to remember is their tendency to jump, so a snug-fitting lid on the aquarium is a must. They are not picky eaters and will readily accept a variety of common fish foods. Their small size and low waste output mean they don't place a heavy burden on the filtration system, making them suitable for well-maintained smaller tanks. They are generally hardy and can adapt to a range of common water conditions, which adds to their appeal for beginners. Their active swimming adds a wonderful dynamic energy to any aquarium setup, making them a joy to watch.
