Danios

Jen They are indeed tropical fish. your LFS must have mistaken them with white cloud minnows, which are more suited to 18-21 degree temp. range. Brachydanio spp. hail from the South Asian area which falls in the tropics. No we bought white cloud minnows and zebra danios, both which we put in with our fish, a couple died, but others are doing fine. Maybe they're just not too fussed. Thanks Jen

Thanks Jen danios can adapt to all sorts of conditions I keep them coldwater all year around here perfect fish for large labs, and a favourite guinea pig of genetics people throw some questions at google more data on zebra danios on the web than any other fishy I'd imagine
