For general danio sort of information, see my zebra danio page. The rosy danios are similar in many ways.

Sorry, I have not had time to fill this in yet.

Rosy danios should like the same sort of conditions as other danios with soft to moderate water of a pH slightly acidic. In most ways, their setup and water preferences are most likely the same as zebra danios.

I bought my four fish on 7/6/08 and put them in my 20 gallon tank. They are all about an inch long. They are behaving like most of my other species of danios have. When I bought them, the store called them "purple passion danios" and Danio roseum. I found out that they are Danio roseus instead when I did an internet search.

I was taking photos of a baby panda cory on 11/29/08 when I captured the rosy danios in the photos too.

When I took photos of a lot of panda cories on 6/20/09, I also got these photos of the rosy danios.
