The Giant Danio is the largest of the danios.  It can grow to a maximum length of four inches and is an excellent schooling fish in larger community aquariums.  The Giant Danio is a very attractive fish with captivating blue colorations.  Its gold spots and lines intensify the blue-green background of this fish.
It requires a large aquarium with ample swimming room because it is so active.

Giant Danios are egg laying fish, and are stimulated to spawn by sunlight.  After roughly 300 eggs are produced, hatching occurs within 36 hours.  Fry should be fed fine pieces of live foods.  Giant Danios are omnivores and should be fed a diet of flake foods with plenty of vegetable matter, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex worms.
