Zebra Dartfish

Care Summary

The Zebra Dartfish is a missile of a fish in both body shape and reflexes, hovering motionlessly in the current and then vanishing into a burrow faster than you can follow with your eyes. Those bold pink-and-white vertical bands are striking for such a small, slender fish and they look exceptional in groups under blue lighting. A lid without gaps is completely non-negotiable because this species will find the smallest opening and exit the tank without hesitation. Keep it in a calm, peaceful system and give it a burrow to retreat to, and it will gradually spend more time out in the open.
