GMO Danio (Genetically Modified Danio)

Description:

  • Appearance:

    • Body: Typically small and slender with a streamlined shape. GMO Danios are often recognized by their bright and unusual colors or patterns, which result from genetic modifications.
    • Color: Various vibrant colors and patterns, including fluorescent hues like green, red, or orange. Commonly seen in "Glowfish" varieties with bioluminescent traits.
    • Size: Generally reaches about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in length.
  • Behavior:

    • Activity: Active and lively, with a tendency to swim in schools or groups. They are known for their energetic and playful nature.
    • Social Structure: Peaceful and social fish that do well in groups. They are non-aggressive and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive species.

Care Requirements:

  • Tank Size:

    • Minimum of 10 gallons (38 liters) for a small group. Larger tanks are preferable to provide ample swimming space and to accommodate their social nature.
  • Water Parameters:

    • Temperature: 64-74°F (18-23°C). They prefer cooler water compared to tropical fish.
    • pH: 6.5-7.5. They thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water.
    • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water. They can adapt to a range of hardness levels but do best in moderately hard water.
    • Filtration: Standard filtration is sufficient. Ensure the tank has gentle water movement to accommodate their small size.
  • Tank Setup:

    • Substrate: Soft gravel or sand. They do not have specific substrate requirements but should have a smooth, non-abrasive surface.
    • Aquascaping: Provide some decor and hiding spots, but ensure there is plenty of open swimming space. Live or artificial plants can be used to create a comfortable environment.
    • Lighting: Moderate lighting is suitable. They do not have specific lighting needs but should have a regular light/dark cycle to mimic their natural environment.
  • Diet:

    • Primary Food: Omnivorous; feed a varied diet including high-quality flake foods, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and micro-worms.
    • Supplemental Food: Offer occasional treats like finely chopped vegetables or algae wafers to provide dietary variety.
  • Behavioral Considerations:

    • Compatibility: Best kept with other small, peaceful fish. They are compatible with other community tank species but avoid larger or aggressive fish that might harass them.
    • Social Behavior: GMO Danios thrive in groups, so consider keeping at least six or more. They exhibit more natural behaviors and are less stressed when kept in schools.
  • Tank Maintenance:

    • Water Changes: Perform regular water changes (20-30% weekly) to maintain water quality and manage the bioload.
    • Cleaning: Clean the tank regularly and remove any uneaten food or waste. Ensure the filtration system is effective and not causing excessive water movement.
  • Health Care:

    • Observation: Monitor for signs of stress or illness, such as changes in behavior, loss of appetite, or visible symptoms like fin deterioration or discoloration.
    • Treatment: Maintain optimal water conditions and consult an aquarium professional if health issues arise. Promptly address any signs of disease or stress to ensure the well-being of your GMO Danios.
