Since 2004 many new danionins have been discovered which do not yet have scientific names and many other species, previously known only to the scientific community, have become available in aquarist shops. This has predictably led to total confusion as to the naming of some fish, with some species having up to five different common names in use ...
Danio is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae found in South and Southeast Asia, commonly kept in aquaria. [2] They are generally characterised by a pattern of horizontal stripes, rows of spots or vertical bars. [2]
Individual danionin species are listed within the relevant pages for each genus, but many danionin species have been changed into different genera over the last decades, in some cases repeatedly; similarly, some species have been synonymised with other species and in some cases later unsynonymised, all of which has caused confusion.
In the wild, giant danios live in clear streams and rivers among hills at elevations up to 1000 ft (300 m) above sea level. Their native substrate is small gravel . They are native to a tropical climate and prefer water with a 6–8 pH , a water hardness of 5.0–19.0 dGH , and a temperature range of 72–81 °F (22–27 °C).
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the [[Family (biology)|family Danionidae of the order Cypriniformes.Native to South Asia, [3] it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio [4] (and thus often called a "tropical fish" although it is both tropical and subtropical).

The spawning behavior has significant consequences for captive breeding (see below). The celestial pearl danio appears to be adapted to somewhat ephemeral habitats. It does not have a dedicated spawning season, nor do the females lay continuously. Rather, they produce small batches of around 30 eggs per spawning episode.
The glowlight danio (Danio choprae) 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.
