Fig. 276. Brachydanio nigrojasciatus 

 Slightly smaller than rerio and not quite so brilliant. Below the two lateral stripes 

 is a line of dark dots. Although the life habits are the same as rerio, it is more difficult 

 to propagate. They are found in Burma. 



Fig. 277. Brachydanio rerio (Known as Danio rerio J [Life size] 



A moderate-sized aquarium, containing a number of Brachydanio rerios in a good 

 light, makes a beautiful picture. Their steel-blue stripes, alternating with white and 

 carried through the fins, give a brilliant effect as the fish play through the water, never 

 still a moment. The males have a slight yellowish cast in the lighter portion of the fins 

 during the breeding season. Easily bred. See page 240 (No. 8). 



Fig. 278. Brachydanio albolineatus (Popularly known as Danio albolineatus) 

 This is a beautiful small fish of a pearly, warm iridescent nue. They have not been 

 bred in this country in large numbers. Breeding habits, page 240 (No. 8).
