Pearl Danio (Danio Albolineatus)
The Pearl Danio, also known as the Blue Danio or Turquoise Danio, is a small and peaceful fish with a distinctive pearly white body and shimmering silver scales. The Pearl Danio is a perfect choice if you want to add a beautiful and peaceful fish to your community tank.
Pearl Danios are easy to fish to care for, making them suitable for beginner aquarists. They are shoaling fish, so keeping them in a group of at least 6 is recommended for their well-being. They prefer a well-planted aquarium with plenty of open swimming space. Avoid mixing them with larger or more aggressive fish, as they can be outcompeted for food or become stressed.
Pearl Danios are peaceful fish that can be kept with other peaceful fish, making them a great addition to a community tank with livebearers, dwarf gouramis, tetras, and cory catfish. They are not known to be fin nippers, but like most Danios, they will pester other fish if they are in undersized schools. They will be fine in a community tank as long as you keep them with 6 or more of their own species and ensure the aquarium is not overcrowded.
Pearl Danios are omnivores and will readily accept a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, frozen, or live foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms. Feeding them small portions several times a day is recommended.
If you're looking to add these lively and attractive fish to your aquarium, they require a minimum tank size of 10 gallons. The water should be kept clean and well-oxygenated with a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0 and a temperature range of 72-75°F (22-24°C).
