FreedingFrenzy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have about 10 Danios and I'm getting rid of my big tank, preferring to down size or get out of fish keeping altogether, but I was wondering if the danio's are able to be acclimatized to cold water or if they are best kept as tropical fish?

Cold water as in room temperature inside a house or cold water as in a pond outside in near freezing weather over winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedingFrenzy Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Definitely inside, I would never put them outside in a pond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 They are quite happy down to 18C. They are not coldwater fish but temperate and can be kept in an unheated tank if the room temperature stays 18C or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedingFrenzy Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Okay thanks everyone for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I could breed danios in an outdoor pond here over summer very easily (in a year with better weather than we have had in the past 3 years :roll: ) as the temp of my breeding ponds sits about 27 - 28C. All depends on where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
