Unlike you, he uses his gills to breathe the air that's already in the water. However, in some circumstances, there's not enough oxygen in the tank for all of the fish to breathe easily.
How do I know if my zebra danios are stressed?Strange Swimming: When fish are stressed, they often develop odd swimming patterns. If your fish is swimming frantically without going anywhere, crashing at the bottom of his tank, rubbing himself on gravel or rocks, or locking his fins at his side, he may be experiencing significant stress.
What part of tank do danios swim in?Typical Behavior
Zebra danios are active, playful fish that get on well with most fish in a community tank. The zebra danios swim quickly around the upper and middle sections of the tank, and are diurnal, meaning they're more active in the day than at night.
Are danios top dwellers?The Zebra Danios are very energetic top dwellers, famous for being able to jump out of the tank. That's because they mainly stay on top, especially when they're hoping for food as someone approaches the tank. If by bottom feeders you mean that Zebra Danios eat leftovers, then that's another story.
