Just in case you do not know. Silver Sharks (Balantiocheilos melanopterus) are not sharks at all, they only bare a slight resemblance to the sharks of the oceans. They are not very demanding as far as pH and dGH are concerned, so they are relatively easy to keep water wise. They are not aggressive fish but they do get quite large though. They are around 15 inches when they are fully grown and prefer to be kept in groups. Because of their size a minimum sized tank for these fish would have to be around 6 feet long. The Zebra Danio (Brachydanio rerio) only grows to a maximum of 1.5 inches and will co-exist with most other peacfull fish. There should not be any major problems caused by putting these two species together. All that is needed is a properly set up six foot aquarium.

Can zebra danios and silver dollars live together?

Zebra danios and silver dollars can potentially live together in a community tank, but there are some considerations to keep in mind. Zebra danios are small, active fish that thrive in schools, while silver dollars are larger and more peaceful but can be territorial. It's important to ensure the tank is spacious and well-planted to provide hiding spots for the danios and to monitor their interactions, as the size difference may lead to stress for the smaller fish. Overall, with proper tank conditions and careful monitoring, they can coexist.

How can you tell how old a zebra danio fish is?

It is only with years of experience that an aquarist can judge the age of many fish species. Zebra Danios are fully grow at 4 to 6 months old and only live about 3 years or so, so it is a bit difficult to tell how old they are.
