Odd zebra danios

[preyas1207]

Hey guys, so I was looking at my tank earlier observing and such but, i looked at my zebra danios and he has barbels for an unapparent reason, the others don't have this "barbel" Looks cool though, I like catfish but this is new. I can't grt a pic since you know these rascals are fast but he has 2 pairs 1long 1 short

Could it possibly be a hybrid..? It has the moustache of the moustached danios but has the pattern of a zebra danios.This guy is about a year old in my tank and never bothered to look at him closer and saw this

This is perfectly normal all my zebra danios have barbels, if you observe even closer they actually scavenge food off the bottom of the tank and use there barbels when near the bottom, out of 5 of them i think only one might not have them.

True enough. Most danios have these. No doubt they assist them to find their natural prey, which is insects.

Mine do too. More apparent on some than others.
