This colour morph is a xanthistic form of the Longfin Zebra Danio. Xanthistic fish lack dark pigmentation except in the eye, resulting in an interesting pink coloured fish. Quite hardy, suitable for both heated and unheated aquaria. Very lively and playful, best kept in a school of a least 4-6 fish. Grows to about 5-6cm.
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.

The cool fish Review by Eugene
Customer Rating Highly recommended for tanks with darker backgrounds.
The picture on livefish do not do this fish justice.
Under T5 lighting, the long fins are very defined. This fish swims very gracefully with all other types of upper region fish.
Peaceful, beautiful and graceful - yet interestingly see-through.
Highly recommended. (Posted on 13/05/11) -

Very active and pretty Review by Cass
Customer Rating We cal them" our ladies of the tank" as they are a pretty fish and look good swimming as a school. They tend to keep to the top half of the tank and just love swimming against the current of the filter. (Posted on 25/10/10)

Lovely, fast and active, really liven up your tank. Review by Margaret
Customer Rating I am extremely pleased with the way they have livened up my tank. The way they swim in the top stratum, just makes the tank look deeper. And there is always something to see, at all levels. (Posted on 25/10/10)
