Ex-LFS manager/ keeper of over 30 danio species
Common name/s: Moustached Danio, Danglia Danio, Olive Danio.
Scientific name: Danio danglia.
Family: Cyprinidae
Origin: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal & Myanmar.
Maximum size: 15cm (6")
Care: Easy, but need a large tank, due to adult size, with plenty of open space at the top for swimming.
Feeding: Omnivoures, will eat anything from flaked food to shrimp and smaller fish. I have also seen them eat apple and bananas, but would only use as a treat.
Sexing and Breeding: Very hard to tell male from females as they only show the differences when the female is egglaiden. Breeding is the same as with other danios and adults should be seperated from the spawning tank.
Comments: The second largest species of danio. Looks like a very large pale leopard, only more pink than brown. Can be distinguished from all other danios by the large dark spot on the gill coverings.
