my wife just came back with this, I have 2 questions what is it and is It pregnant. It's the best picture I can get as it's very active.

Zebra danio, schooling fish very active probably isn't pregnant

 

[Taff1835]

Thanks, is 6 a good school or would it require more

 

[cgthebeast]

6 is the min, there really active upper to mid water level fish. They have been know to fin nip, though probably not in a school

 

[Taff1835]

He better not start fin nipping or he can go and play in my friends oscar tank lol

They need a lot of space we have 10 and they go 100 mph all the time they don't stop and they are pooping machines, very hardy fish can be used to cycle a tank ( shhhhhh I didn't just say that hahaha)

Make sure its a closed top aquarium because danios are expert jumpers ! Great fish though, with a school of playful danios you will never watch tv again lol, they are totally crazy

hay that is actually a female zebra danio if you look closely you can see she has a wide or rounded belly. males are more streamline. it could be possible that she is carrying eggs but you have to jump through hoops to get them to breed without eating the eggs XD. trust me I should know I'm still raising the last batch of the young from 3 months ago. that's another thing they are prolific but when they are just starting out as fry they grow slower and they are even smaller than my cory fry. and the danio fry were at 1 month and the corys were just hatchlings. and yes those fishes are jumpers to the extreme try netting them one time for yourself. XD every time its breeding time they go ape XD. they just don't understand that I'm throwing them a party. so a top and/ or lid is a must for them. and they do not stop moving at all its like they are high on caffeine all the time XD.

I have 3 long fins and they're MUCH better than tv. My female chases those boys like crazy. Some times my two make guppies will school up with then and then is a big game of tag.
