Скачать или смотреть A.K.5000 Giant Danio

Here's another video wildlife video I filmed while I was at Chester Zoo in the aquarium of a school of giant danios. The giant danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family and is also of the largest species. It is characterized by a blue and yellow, torpedo-shaped body with grey and clear fins. In the wild, giant danios live in clear streams and rivers among hills at elevations up to 300 metres above sea level. Their native substrate is small gravel. The giant danio is a social fish living in schools of several individuals. This species is a surface dweller and, its diet consists predominantly of exogenous insects, but is also supplemented by worms and crustaceans. In captivity, the giant danio will usually accept most foods. In the breeding season, giant danios are egg-scatterers, and they spawn in clumps of plants. The giant danio can also be somewhat aggressive, and may bully other fish in community tanks. It is recommended that when raising giant danios in captivity, that they are not socialised with smaller fish of any other species as fully-frown giant danios may bully or even eat them, but medium to large characins may be suitable. The giant danio is not believed to be threatened in the wild.
