Danio is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae found in South and Southeast Asia, commonly kept in aquaria.[1] They are generally characterised by a pattern of horizontal stripes, rows of spots or vertical bars.[1] Some species have two pairs of long barbels. Species of this genus consume various small aquatic insects, crustaceans and worms.
