Janelle Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I stumbled across some info pages about the Pearl Danio. Does anyone know if there are any in New Zealand? So far I've only really seen Zebra and Leopard Danios. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh, nevermind me, lol. Just went to the Commercial Trade forum and see that Organism stocks some. They would survive okay in 20C water, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Zebras and leopards like 22 - 24C but pearls prefer a bit warmer 24 - 26C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 animates have pearl danios in coldwater with zebras and ruby barbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hmm... Okay. I wondered because I couldn't find a consistent temperature range anywhere, but now I'm still confused if they'd do okay in my cooler tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 What temp is your tank at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I've been watching the temp with my new heater in. It can go as low as 19 but during the day when the sun heats up the lounge it can go higher, by the time I come home it's at around 22 (with the heater set to 22). I'm going to keep an eye on it today, looks like a sunny Saturday in Christchurch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Tropical fish advertised as "cold" can usually take down to about 18C. This does not mean it is ideal for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think I'm tending away from Danios as I'm hearing they can be nippy and I already get somewhat stressed about my goldfish taking the odd nibble at my other fish. I also like them but I think I'm still quite content with just the White Clouds. I think I'm the only person who likes to stare at the "boring" fish in my tank....
