Hello Everyone....

I will be setting up a 20 gallon tank in the next few months. Currently, I have 6 adult LF Danios. I also have a 2 gallon tank with around 42 Danio fry. I'd like to know how many Danio's would be acceptable in a 20 gallon tank.

Opinions and suggestions will be appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Robin

I believe the common rule is 1 gallon to each inch, isnt it?

danio being about an inch & a half, times by a 20 gallon tank makes about 13 danios

you could go as many as 20 but, it would be wise not to go over a dozen.

how did you manage to breed them?

Depending on your upkeep, you could overstock the tank with a school of danios. Just keep an eye on water params, etc. AS long as they have swimming space, objects to relieve stress, etc - I think you'd be fine bending the "1 inch rule" a bit.

Sounds good!! Can you take pictures of the fry?? I've never seen baby danios.

I'd love to take pics of the fry. Only they end up like little blurs..... I tried last night with no luck but I'm going to keep trying!!!! I have a pretty good camera (Kodak), however, the lens isn't spectacular for focusing.... If and when I get any photos I'll definitely post them!!!!!

Thanks for the interest
