Scientific name(s): Devario devario, Danio devario.

Family: Cyprinidae

Origin: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal & Pakistan.

Maximum size: 3.9"/10cm

Ideal Temperature: 75-86 F (15-26 C)

Description: Very similar to the Giant danio only more arrowhead shaped & a lot more yellow on the tailfins. These are often sold as Giants.

Feeding: Will accept flake floods, pellets. Loves live foods such as bloodworms and daphnia.

Breeding: Easy. Egg-scattering like other danios. Easiest using breeding tank with feathery plants and marble substrate, remove adults after eggs are laid.

Note: Like all danios Bengals are a community fish & should be kept in a school of at least 5.
Bengal danios are one of the best coloured danios. When all ideal conditions are meet, then the bright yellow colouration of tailfin is shown at its most splendid.
