迎接巨型斑馬魚 (Devario aequipinnatus)前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Prepare a long, spacious tank

   This fish is an extremely strong swimmer, so a tank with plenty of horizontal length suits it better than a tall, narrow one. Since adults can grow up to 15cm, a cramped tank won't give them enough room to move.

2. 2Keep in groups of five or more

   Kept alone or in very small numbers, they can become stressed and won't display their natural lively swimming. Keeping five or more together lets you enjoy the full appeal of their schooling behavior.

3. 3Tolerates a wide range of water conditions

   It's a hardy species that tolerates fluctuations in water quality relatively well, which makes it forgiving for new keepers. Even so, sudden changes are still stressful, so introduce new water gradually during water changes.

4. 4A tight-fitting lid is essential

   Being such an active swimmer, it can startle and leap out of the water unexpectedly. Avoid keeping it in an open-top tank, and make sure any gaps in the lid are covered.

5. 5Peaceful and community-friendly

   Its temperament is peaceful, and it rarely bothers other fish. That said, because it swims with such vigor, tankmates of a similar size and activity level tend to make the best match.

6. 6An omnivore that's easy to feed

   As an omnivore, it readily accepts standard flake and pellet foods, so feeding is rarely a challenge. A staple diet of flakes or small granules is easy to manage day to day.

7. 7Set up the tank before bringing them home

   Given their adult size and schooling habits, make sure you've set up an adequately sized tank with strong filtration before bringing them home. It's best to let the tank fully cycle before introducing the fish.
