Freshwater Fish
Zebra Danio.
The ever-popular zebra danio — silver-gold with horizontal blue stripes and boundless energy. Beginner-bulletproof and peaceful, it's a great first fish and a fine cycling helper; keep an active school in a 10-gallon-plus tank with a lid.

Good tank mates
Peaceful and community-safe, and one of the easiest fish to pair, though its constant energy suits lively rather than timid tankmates. Good company includes other danios, rasboras, larger tetras, corydoras, and platies. Avoid slow, long-finned fish like male bettas or fancy guppies that the fast danios may out-swim and nip at, and skip much larger or aggressive fish. Keep zebra danios in an active school of six or more.
Good to know
The zebra danio (Danio rerio) is one of the most widely used model animals in science, prized because its embryos are transparent, which lets researchers watch organs develop in real time.
