The giant danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family Cyprinidae. Originating in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the west coast of India, this species grows to a maximum length of 4–6 inches (10–15 cm), making it one of the largest of the danionins. It is characterized by a blue and yellow, torpedo-shaped body with gray and clear fins.
The pearl danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family Cyprinidae. Originating in Sumatra, Myanmar, and Thailand and Vietnam ,this fish is sometimes found in aquariums by fish-keeping hobbyists. It grows to a maximum length of 2.6 inches (6.5 cm) and lives for around five years. The fish could have a brownish-yellow, pink, or a silver body and two light yellow/white or blue/red stripes. It has an iridescent look. The female fish has two pairs of barbels.
The blue danio, Kerr's danio or turquoise danio, is a tropical fish belonging to the genus Danio in family Cyprinidae.
The spotted danio or dwarf danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). Originating in northern Myanmar, this fish is sometimes found in community tanks by fish-keeping hobbyists. It grows to a maximum length of 1.5 inches to 1.6 inches.
The Bengal danio or Sind danio is a subtropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). Originating in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, this fish is sometimes kept in community tanks by fish-keeping hobbyists. It grows to a maximum length of 4 in (10 cm).
The queen danio or Fowler's danio is a freshwater tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). Originating in India, Myanmar, Thailand, northwestern Malaya, and the Mekong River basin, this fish is sometimes found in community tanks by fish-keeping hobbyists. It grows to a maximum length of 3.1 in (7.9 cm).
The Malabar danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). Originating in Sri Lanka and the west coast of India, the fish has been circulated throughout the world through the aquarium fish trade. It grows to a maximum length of 6 in (15 cm) but rarely exceeds 4 in (10 cm) in a home aquarium.
The glowlight danio is a small, schooling fish closely related to the popular zebrafish Danio rerio. This should not be confused with the GloFish, a trademarked brand of fluorescent zebrafish that appear to glow in the dark under ultraviolet light. Danio choprae is an active danionin species that spends most of its time on mid-water levels. This species feeds on insects that have fallen into the water, aquatic insect larvae, and other small animals. In the aquarium, it accepts most foods offered, including most dry foods. It has a streamlined body marked with a brilliant orange longitudinal band and a series of vertical blue-black bars on the flanks. The fins are edged with yellow. In recent years, it has become quite widely traded as an aquarium fish, but otherwise has no commercial importance. Its common name derives from its similarity to the glowlight tetra, a South American characin only distantly related to this fish. They get on well with all other Danio species except the giant danio.
The fire bar danio, Maetaeng danio, or tiger danio, is a small freshwater fish in the minnow family found in the Ping River basin. Its description includes:
Danio dangila, the moustached danio, is a freshwater fish, and is the largest of the true Danio species at up to (6 in) long. Its name is from its particularly long barbels. It is sometimes kept in aquariums, where its relatively passive nature allows it to be housed in a community tank.
The panther danio is a species of danio endemic to Myanmar. Before its description it was referred to as Danio species TW03. The panther is a smallish danio which on first glance looks a little dull, but displays a variety of colours when sunlight illuminates the fish on its side.
The rose danio is a tropical fish of the family Cyprinidae. At first glance, this species resembles the pearl danio, but lacks the orange stripe on the side. It has a rosy colouration along the lower part of the fish and lower fins and gleams purple-blue in sunlight. It is also commonly known as the purple passion danio. Its natural range includes the Mekong River drainage in China, Thailand. Laos, and Myanmar.
Danio kyathit is also call ocelot danio,is a small, schooling species of fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to the upper reaches of Irrawaddy River near Myitkyina in northern Myanmar. Described in 1998, it is closely related to the better-known zebrafish or zebra danio, D. rerio.
The barred danio is a fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). Originating in Sri Lanka, this fish grows to a maximum length of 2 inches (6 cm).
Devario browni is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae found in fast-flowing, shaded streams in the Salween River drainage; it feeds mainly on terrestrial insects, including ants and flies.
Devario strigillifer is a species of danio endemic to Myanmar where it is found in shallow, fast-running streams the area of Myitkyina District. This species grows to a length of 10 cm (3.9 in) SL.
Danio is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae found in South and Southeast Asia, commonly kept in aquaria. They are generally characterised by a pattern of horizontal stripes, rows of spots or vertical bars. Some species have two pairs of long barbels. Species of this genus consume various small aquatic insects, crustaceans and worms.
Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio, often referred to in the aquarium trade as galaxy rasbora or Microrasbora sp. 'Galaxy', is a small cyprinid from Myanmar and Northern Thailand. It has so far been found only in a very small area near Hopong east of Inle Lake, at an elevation of over 1,000 m (3,400 ft). Its habitat is part of the Salween basin, namely the Nam Lang and Nam Pawn Rivers. Discovered in 2006, the species quickly appeared in the aquarium trade, where its small size and bright colours made it an instant hit.
Danio erythromicron, often known as emerald dwarf danio and emerald dwarf rasbora, is a species of cyprinid fish which is endemic to Inle Lake in Myanmar.
The danionins are a group of small, minnow-type fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. Species of this group are in the genera clades danio and devario, based on the latest phylo-genetic research by Fang et al in 2009. They are primarily native to the fresh waters of South and Southeast Asia, with fewer species in Africa. Many species are brightly coloured and are available as aquarium fish worldwide. Fishes of the danio clade tend to have horizontal stripes, rows of spots, or vertical bars, and often have long barbels. Species within the devario clade tend to have vertical or horizontal bars, and short, rudimentary barbels, if present at all. All danionins are egg scatterers, and breed in the rainy season in the wild. They are carnivores, living on insects and small crustaceans.
