Common name/s: Orange Finned Danio, Orange Finned Zebra Danio.

Scientific name: Danio kyathit.

Family: Cyprinidae

Origin: Most of Asia

Maximum size: 8 cm. (3.25")

Care: They are fused about water conditions providing extremes of pH and hardness and gH are avoided. Slightly larger than the normal Zebra Danios.

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

Sexing and Breeding: : These ar not as easy to breed as Danio rerio, but like them they are egg-scatters. The best mothod is using a breeding tank with feathery plants or breeding mop and marble substrate, remove adults after eggs are laid.

Comments: Like all Danios, kyathits are a community fish and should be kept in a school of at least 5. Danio kyathit are the not so common as Zebras and are often mislabelled as Zebras. When all ideal conditions are met, then the colouration is shown at its most splendid. There are two colour variations of Kyathit the stripped and the spotted.
