Hikari Danio (Danio dichromatus)

Description

Hikari Danio (Danio dichromatus) is a rare and highly sought-after freshwater schooling fish prized for its vibrant colours, active behaviour, and peaceful nature. Formerly known in the aquarium hobby as the Yellow Hikari Danio and Blue Hikari Danio, this unique species is an excellent choice for planted aquariums and community fish tanks. 

Growing to approximately 5 cm (2 inches), Hikari Danios are energetic swimmers that thrive when kept in groups of six or more. Their striking sexual dimorphism means males and females display noticeably different colouration, making them a fascinating feature fish in nano and community aquariums.
