Leopard Danios are one of a number of hardy, peaceful Danios, ideal for the beginner. Best kept in a school with other community fish. Considered by many to be a colour form of the Zebra Danio. Grows to about 5cm.
A hardy and highly active shoaling fish for the upper region of the aquarium. It is recommended that they be purchased as a group of 6 or more, as individual specimens tend to fade away by themselves.
Although boisterous and liable to chase each other and other fish, they are good community fish and will not generally attack each other or other fish, although they occasionally nip fins, more by accident than design and will, like most fish, eat eggs and any fish small enough to fit into their mouths.
They are best kept in a tank long enough for their active swimming, preferably with a current from a power filter (or at least airstone) as they often live in fast flowing streams in the wild. Generally this also results in them being sub tropical with temperatures of 20 to 22 degrees Celsius (low seventies degrees Fahrenheit) often being fine, however they are good jumpers and a tight fitting lid is recommended.

Beautiful little fish Review by Ryan
Customer Rating All 6 arrived pale and panicked, but started regaining colour within moments of the bag being placed in the water.
1 had me worried by resting on the bottom of the bag while the other 5 zipped madly around the bag, but after being let out seems fine.
Colouring is less purple than the photo but still a beautiful fish.
Probably should have gotten more. (Posted on 12/05/11) -
welll coloured, hardy fish Review by liam
Customer Rating a very hardy fish. always active. do not keep with larger fish as they may get eaten. sometime you fill find one just drop dead for no apparent reason.
These fish are best kept in a school of at least 5 or so. they have exellent colouration and this is enhanced by the feeding of live foods such as mosquito larvae. (Posted on 6/01/11) -
Hardy spritely fish Review by Spackang
Customer Rating The Leopard Zanio is a delightful, very active fish. I have mine in a tank (180litre) with other peaceful fish including a fighter and they fit in just fine mostly accommodating the top/mid level of the tank. They go crazy and speed up when the filter pump comes on as they love the current. Even though they appear to be a "dull" coloured fish they look awesome under lights and because they move so much they really liven up the tank. (Posted on 25/10/10)
