How long can Zebra Danios go without food?
Zebra danios can go up to 14 days without food. Zebra danios are very hardy and have a higher fasting tolerance compared to other species. A healthy adult danio has sufficient body mass and fat reserves to help them survive without food.
How often should you feed zebra Danios?
Each danio should only need a couple bites of food each feeding, 2–3 times per week, but can be fed each day if the other fish in the aquarium need feeding each day. Overfeeding can cause bloating as well as harmful chemical build-up in your water. Only feed the fish as much food as they can eat in 3 minutes.
How do I know if my zebra Danios are stressed?

Why is my Danio so aggressive?
Zebra danios sometimes behave fiercely when they’re not in the company of many other fish. In an underpopulated tank, they’ll often nip or chase after fish of lower ranking.
