Zebra Danio Beginner Care
My Top 5 Zebra Danio Fish Care Tips. The best ideal tank setup would be a 20 gallon aquarium and up. Zebra danio fish love heavily planted tanks. I also talk about food and nutrition. Keep them with other tank mates of similar size.

Sadly I sold my 55 gallon setup. I had a massive heart attack 7 weeks ago and cannot take care of them properly. I am happy an awesome couple bought it I had an Angel that was big as my hand a red tailed shark that was the biggest one the new buyer has ever seen and a 14 inch pleco. I had them over 6 years. I will miss them. If my heart comes around and I do not need an implant I may get back into the hobby. All my life I have always had fish tanks. This is a big change for an addict of this hobby. I love seeing everyone’s tanks that will keep me going till I am well enough again.
Yesterday I had to go bare-bottom with my 75 gallon… and I hate it. It’s boring. I can’t do a substrate, but is there anything else visually appealing I can do?
My fish has impacted herself with sand and eats gravel and marbles (I’m sick of pulling things out of her). I’ve done marble chips and larger rocks, but it makes cleaning under them really difficult. I thought another a grass bottom, but I feel like my goldfish will eat it. They eat EVERYTHING. I thought maybe going upwards with some decorations might distract from the bottom. Ideas?
Help. I made a full water change which I’ve done before qith success but my fish are dying. Anything that can help? Water temp is 78 and ammonia doesn’t seem that bad.
Benefical bacteria dosing. If you have any ammonia then you crashed your cycle and will need to re-cycle your tank. I’ve been successful at not loosing fish when that happened to my with Benefical bacteria dosing to jump start the cycle.
lower the water lvl so the surface is broken quite a bit could be lack of oxygen if it has been conditioned and other parameters on target (ammonia should be zero – anything higher than that is bad).
When I had my baby I didn’t pay much attention to it and it was dirty and fish also dying so I decided something was wrong and needed a water change but shouldn’t have done it today. With this weather in Houston I’m not sure if something changed in the tap water. Cuz I’ve done it before and really successful. Nothing bad happened. It’s for sure a lesson and a learning experience but I just wanted to try to do mu best to save then if i could or if someone could help.
Your fish are in shock. You changed the water chemistry to drastically after them slowly acclimating to high nitrates. Doing close a 90% water change isn’t a big deal if you do it every week. But once every few months and it’s gonna be too extreme. If I ever wait too long to clean my tank, I only start with a 50% water change. Wait a few days and do another 50%, etc.
Any advice will be appreciated. Currently in this tank of have 2 loaches, 3 Cory cats, few snails, and a clown pleco. The nitrates are high no matter what I do. I clean the tank. 25% -50% water changes weekly. I can get them down to 20-40 ppm but by the next weekend it’s right back up there. Should I change out the substrate? What could I do to fix this? I also have 6 live plants in there and plan on getting a lot more. Substrate is blasting sand from tractor supply.
Snails, weather loaches and plecos are all notorious poopers, so you may want to reconsider your livestock choices. Feed less often and add more plants. Lots of people use pothos and other bareroot houseplants hung on the outside of the tank to draw up nitrates.
More plants will help. Especially floating plants like dwarf water lettuce or red root floaters. I would also include some plants that like to feed from the water column like Anubis and Java fern.
But yeah any Anubis will work just keep it out of the substrate and attach it to some wood or a rock with cotton thread or you can use superglue but do your research on witch one to use. And the dwarf water lettuce will propagate more plants really fast. Oh yeah duckweed works really well too but it’s hard to get rid of it once it’s in the tank. So for that reason I wouldn’t recommend it but some people like it so I figured I’d mention it. But there’s a reason they call it aquarium.
Zebra danio fish care is important.
What do you have for a filter/media. Mine spiked into the red in a week after I changed to media arrangement in the canister.Now it’s back to less than 20ppm after several weeks of no water changes.
