Wild Gold Ring Danio (Danio sp.)

A less commonly available danio species, notable for a distinct gold-ringed pattern that sets it apart from the more familiar zebra-striped look most people associate with the genus. Wild-collected stock like this tends to carry more natural behavioral variation than heavily farmed lines, worth knowing going into quarantine. Peaceful and easy once acclimated, and best kept in a real group like any Danio species.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
