Malabar Danio
$11.99
Not difficult to keep in a well-maintained set-up though we recommend aquascaping the tank to resemble a flowing stream or river with a substrate of variably-sized, water-worn rocks, sand, fine gravel and perhaps some small boulders.
This can be further furnished with driftwood roots or branches, and while the majority of aquatic plants will fail to thrive in such surroundings hardy types such as Microsorum, Bolbitis or Anubias spp. can be grown attached to the décor should you wish.
Since it naturally occurs in pristine habitats it’s intolerant to accumulation of organic pollutants and requires spotless water in order to thrive.
Though torrent-like conditions are unnecessary it also does best if there is a high proportion of dissolved oxygen and decent water movement so a good-sized external filter or powerhead(s) should be employed as necessary and weekly water changes of 30-50% aquarium volume considered routine.
Temperature: 16 – 24 °C
pH: Weakly acidic to neutral water within the range 6.5 – 7.5 is usually recommended.
Hardness: 36 – 268 ppm
