Burma Zebra Danio
Encyclopedia
The Burma Zebra Danio or KP01 Danio is a tropical fish
belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). It is believed to originate in Myanmar
. This fish was discovered in 2006 and is believed to be a separate species from the Zebra Danio (which occurs many miles away in India) which it has a close resemblance to. However it is more likely to be closely related to the Yoma Danio
(also from Myanmar
) and is believed to be a similar size, 6-9 cm, to the latter.
In the wild, the Burma Zebra Danio is likely found in rivers in a tropical climate and prefer water with a 6.5 - 7.0 pH
, a water hardness of 5.0 - 12.0 dGH
, and an ideal temperature range of 75 - 82 °F (24 - 28 °C). The Burma Zebra Danio is an egglayer.
