Zebra Danio
It is the best idea to have Zebra or Leopard Danio because there are very easy to keep and they are very hardy which means that they are tough and resilient.
They are both very beautiful and pretty but I like the Leopard Danios best. They like to be in shoals or they get lonely, so I am going to get six.
They come from East India and they grow to 6cm long and live for 5 years. They are egg laying fish, laying 300 to 500 eggs. The Latin name for them is brachydanio rerio.

This lady also had Danios as her first fish. And I have found somebody else keeping a diary of their fish tank.
