Scientific and Common Names:
The scientific name for these fish is Brachydanio Albolineatus, but they are commonly known as Pearl Danios. These fish belong to the Cyprinid family.

Habitat:
Pearl Danios are native to Southeast Asia, specifically Myanmar and Thailand. They inhabit slow-moving rivers, streams, and flooded areas with dense vegetation.

Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for Pearl Danios, a well-maintained aquarium with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons is recommended. The tank should be equipped with a gentle filtration system, as these fish prefer calm water. Adding live plants and driftwood mimics their natural environment and provides hiding spots.

Diet and Nutrition:
Pearl Danios are omnivorous and have a diverse diet. They readily accept high-quality flake or pellet food designed for tropical fish. Supplementing their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms enhances their overall health and coloration.

Size and Growth Rate:
These danios typically reach a size of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5 cm) in length. They have a moderate growth rate and can reach their full size within a year.

Behavioral Traits:
Pearl Danios are known for their active and peaceful nature. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to ensure their well-being. They exhibit shoaling behavior and enjoy swimming in the middle and upper levels of the aquarium.

Care Level:
These fish have a relatively low care level and are suitable for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers. They are hardy and adaptable, making them a great choice for community aquariums.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Breeding Pearl Danios is relatively easy. They are egg scatterers, and a separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants or a spawning mop is recommended. The adults should be conditioned with a varied diet to encourage spawning. After spawning, the parents should be removed to prevent them from eating the eggs. The eggs hatch within 24 to 48 hours, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or commercially available fry food.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining good water quality is crucial for the health of Pearl Danios. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and monitoring ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are essential. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank helps prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions:
– Temperature: 72-79°F (22-26°C)
– pH: 6.0-7.5
– Hardness: 5-12 dGH

With proper care, Pearl Danios can live for 3 to 5 years, although some individuals have been known to live longer.
