Leopard Danio

Leopard Danios are one of a number of hardy and peaceful Danio varieties, making them an excellent choice for beginner fish keepers. They are active, lively fish that look great in a community aquarium and are best kept in a school with other compatible community fish.

Leopard Danios are considered by many to be a colour form of the Zebra Danio. Their attractive spotted pattern and active nature make them an interesting addition to a freshwater aquarium.

They are adaptable fish that are relatively easy to care for and readily accept standard aquarium fish foods.

Your Leopard Danios are specially packed for long journeys using packaging designed to help sustain the fish during transport. While most deliveries arrive quickly, the fish are packed to allow them to cope with longer transit times should there be an unexpected delay.

Delivery Information

• Fish can be shipped to your home, workplace or another physical address you specify
• Orders cannot be shipped to PO Boxes
• Delivery usually takes approximately 1-2 days from when your order is shipped
• Live fish are shipped Monday to Thursday only to help prevent orders from being delayed over a weekend
• We carefully prepare and pack every fish before dispatch

We do not send live fish late in the week because we want to minimise the risk of fish being held in transit over the weekend.

Receiving Your Fish

When your fish arrive, open the package and check them promptly.

It is normal for fish to be stressed or less active after their journey. Allow them time to acclimatise gradually to their new environment.

Do not immediately release newly arrived fish into the aquarium. Gradually acclimatise them to the aquarium water so they can adjust to the difference in temperature and water conditions. Do this by floating the sealed bag on top of your aquarium for 5-10 minutes.

Important Information About Live Fish

Live fish are living animals and their appearance can naturally vary.

Leopard Danios may vary slightly in size, pattern and colour depending on age, growth and individual fish. The fish pictured are representative of the type of fish supplied and may not be the exact fish you receive.

For the health and wellbeing of the fish, please ensure your aquarium is established, appropriately sized and has suitable water quality before ordering.
