Product Description:
The 10 X Giant Danios – Devario Malabaricus – Cyprinid Fish is a complete guide for customers interested in owning and caring for these beautiful and active fish. This package includes 10 Giant Danios, scientifically known as Devario Malabaricus, which are a popular species of Cyprinid fish.

Habitat: Giant Danios are native to the freshwater rivers and streams of Southeast Asia, particularly in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. They prefer well-oxygenated water with moderate to strong water flow.

Tank Setup: To provide a suitable environment for Giant Danios, a spacious aquarium of at least 30 gallons is recommended. The tank should be well-filtered and have plenty of swimming space. Adding plants, rocks, and driftwood can create hiding spots and mimic their natural habitat.

Diet and Nutrition: Giant Danios are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality flakes or pellets as a staple, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Offering a varied diet ensures their nutritional needs are met.

Size and Growth Rate: These fish can grow up to 4-5 inches in length, making them one of the larger species of Danios. They have a relatively fast growth rate and can reach their adult size within a year.

Behavioral Traits: Giant Danios are known for their active and schooling nature. They thrive in groups of at least 6 individuals and will swim together in a synchronized manner. They are peaceful towards other fish species but may display some aggression towards their own kind if kept in small numbers.

Care Level: Giant Danios are generally considered to be beginner-friendly fish due to their hardiness and adaptability. They can tolerate a wide range of water conditions and are relatively easy to care for.

Breeding and Reproduction: Breeding Giant Danios can be achieved in a separate breeding tank with slightly warmer water and the addition of spawning mops or fine-leaved plants. The females will scatter their eggs among the plants, and the parents should be removed after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs. The eggs will hatch within 24-48 hours, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or commercially available fry food.

Health and Disease Prevention: To ensure the health of Giant Danios, it is important to maintain good water quality, provide a balanced diet, and avoid overcrowding. Regular water changes and monitoring for signs of disease or stress are essential. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions: Giant Danios prefer a temperature range of 72-79°F (22-26°C) and a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. They can tolerate a wide range of water hardness, but a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

Lifespan: With proper care, Giant Danios can live for 5-8 years, although some individuals have been known to live longer.

Additional Interesting Facts: Giant Danios are known for their striking appearance, with a silver body, blue horizontal stripes, and a yellow or gold coloration on their fins. They are highly active swimmers and can add a vibrant and dynamic element to any aquarium. Their schooling behavior is fascinating to observe, and they can be a great addition to a community tank with other peaceful fish species.

Secure Transit: We understand the importance of ensuring the safe arrival of your fish. That’s why we offer a 24-hour courier service that utilizes poly boxes and heat packs during colder months to maintain optimal temperature conditions for the fish during transit.

Shipping Convenience: To streamline shipping and reduce costs, we provide the option to combine multiple items in one order. This allows you to conveniently purchase other fish or aquarium supplies along with your 10 X Giant Danios.
