Leopard Danio – 3cm Tropical Fish
Selling size: 3cm
The Leopard Danio is a colour variation of the Zebra Danio, naturally found in lower reaches of streams, canals, ditches, and ponds across Asia from Pakistan to India and into Myanmar.
This fish is just as active and hardy as the Zebra Danio, making it ideal for beginner aquarists or any aquarium setup.
Leopard Danios are omnivorous and will accept most prepared or live foods. Food should float at the surface. They particularly enjoy frozen bloodworms or live black worms. For best results, feed several times a day. Each feeding should last no more than 3 minutes. If feeding once daily, provide food that can be consumed within about 5 minutes.

Easy to care for and very active in the tank. I feed them twice a day with frozen bloodworms and they stay healthy and lively. Perfect for a beginner aquarist.

The fish are colorful and active. I noticed they eat quickly and enjoy the floating food. They don’t require much maintenance and fit well in a community tank.

Great addition to my small aquarium. They swim constantly and seem to enjoy the live food I offer. Very hardy and adaptable to my water conditions.
