Artübersicht

Danio choprae, a member of the family Cyprinidae, is native to South & Southeast Asia. Built for speed in clear streams — colour, condition and courage all track water quality. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 2.3–3.4 cm. Groups of 6 minimum; bigger schools calm them. Cover the surface with floating plants, keep the school large, and maintain spotless water. Maintain 18–24 °C at pH 6–8. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
