Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Zebra danio: 15.0–24.0 °C
Celestial Pearl Danio: 15.0–24.0 °C
Shared window: 15.0–24.0°C.
pH overlap
Zebra danio: 6.0–8.0
Celestial Pearl Danio: 7.0–8.0
Shared window: 7.0–8.0.
Hardness overlap
Zebra danio: Soft → Hard
Celestial Pearl Danio: Medium → Hard
Shared hardness bands: 2 (overlap ratio 100%).
Flow match
Zebra danio: Medium
Celestial Pearl Danio: Low
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 2.38x
Size gap is between 2.0x and 3.0x, so monitor for dominance and mouth-fit risk.
Behaviour risk
- - Both species are generally peaceful; behaviour conflict risk is low.
