Can zebra danios and angelfish live together?
With care
Zebra danios and angelfish can share a tank, but there is something to watch.
Why
- Their temperature ranges overlap by only 1°F, between 76–77°F (24–25°C). Keep the heater steady.
What each one needs
| Zebra danio | Angelfish | Both | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 64–77°F (18–25°C) | 76–84°F (24–29°C) | 76–77°F (24–25°C) |
| pH | 6.5–7.5 | 6.0–7.5 | 6.5–7.5 |
| Minimum tank | 10 gal (38 L) | 29 gal (110 L) | 29 gal (110 L) |
| Keep at least | 6 | 1 | |
| Adult size | 2 in (5.1 cm) | 6 in (15.2 cm) |
The smallest tank for both
A 29 gallons (110 L) tank holds 6 zebra danios and 1 angelfish at about 48% of its stocking limit, which leaves room for more.
