Hyper Fish!!!!!

I've only had one zebra danio, but he is still with me after being accidentally incuded with a few feeder guppies we bought for our fishy cycle on our first aquarium 2 years ago. He's lived in 3 different aquariums in 3 different homes and has survived every battle of ich or other aquarium disaster we have had.
Although my only experience is with this single individual, he is one tough fish!

Zebra Danios? Boooooorrrrring. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, N. multifasciatus.
Cons: They will be very shy untill they produce a nice colony (takes about four months). They are expensive (not entirely a con, see pros for explanation) and somewhat hard to find. They require a slightly different tank set up. Sand is a must. You will have to beg and buy every empty apple snail shell you see in every petsmart you go into.
Pros: After four months you will go from two shy fish to 15+ fish that are constantly moving sand, digging pits, displaying to each other, and picking at anything that appears even remotely edible. I sit down in front of my 20g long multi tank (15+ adults and numerous fry) and literally lose myself in a buzzing metropolis of activity. They will reproduce like crazy on simple flake food (no bbs, no grow-out tank needed). Remember the expensive part. Now the tables are turned, and you have sub-adult multis you can trade for food and supplies at LFS.
