Scientific and Common Names:
The scientific name for these fish is Brachydanio Rosea, but they are commonly known as Rosy Danios.

Habitat:
Rosy Danios are native to Southeast Asia, specifically found in rivers and streams in countries like Thailand and Malaysia. They prefer clear, well-oxygenated waters with moderate flow.

Tank Setup:
For a group of 10 Rosy Danios, a tank with a minimum capacity of 20 gallons is recommended. Provide plenty of swimming space and include plants, rocks, and driftwood to mimic their natural habitat. A gentle filtration system and regular water changes are essential for maintaining water quality.

Diet and Nutrition:
These fish are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Offer them a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flakes or pellets, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms. Feed them small portions multiple times a day to prevent overeating.

Size and Growth Rate:
Rosy 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 adult size within a few months.

Behavioral Traits:
Rosy Danios are active and social fish that enjoy swimming in schools. They are peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. These danios are known for their playful nature and will often dart around the tank, providing entertainment for the observer.

Care Level:
These fish have a relatively low care level, making them suitable for beginners. They are hardy and adaptable to a wide range of water conditions.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Rosy Danios are egg scatterers and can breed in a home aquarium. To encourage breeding, provide them with a separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants for the eggs to attach to. The parents should be removed after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs. The eggs will hatch in about 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, providing a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are key factors in preventing diseases. Regular observation and prompt action in case of any signs of illness are crucial. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions:
– Temperature: 72-78°F (22-26°C)
– pH: 6.5-7.5
– Hardness: 5-15 dGH

Lifespan:
With proper care, Rosy Danios can live for approximately 3 to 5 years.
