List of Danionin species

In the last few decades, many Danionin species have been moved into different genera, in some cases repeatedly, similarly some species have been synonymised with other species and even in some cases later unsynonymised, all of which has caused a lot of confusion. With a large amount of recent discoveries particularly in Myanmar in recent years a lot of confusion has been caused. As a result a separate page has been created which lists all danionin species and also lists defunct species which have since been synonymised or renamed. Individual Danionin species are listed below in order of Genera:

The species remaining in the Danio genus comprise most of the danionins familiar to aquarists. They have two pairs of long barbels and are generally characterised by horizontal stripes (with the exception of the Panther Danio, Glowlight Danio and Black Barred Danio which have vertical bars. In size they range from 4 cm/ 1.75 in) to 15 cm/ 6 in).

Frequently used common names are given for reference, however if the common name you are looking for does not appear, click on it on the section above for more details

The Devarios comprise some danionins familiar to aquarists. Generally (but not all) larger fish than Danios, they have short barbels (if present at all) and generally have deeper bodies than Danios with species having vertical stripes present (as well as horizontal). In size they range from 5 cm/ 2 in) to 15 cm/ 6 in).

Little is known about the following Devario species, however there is some information about them at the Fishbase Devario index(Fishbase: Ed. Ranier Froese and Daniel Pauly. July 2005 version)

Not strictly speaking a danionin but widely regarded as one.

A genus comprising the Flying Barbs, they are closely related to the Danio genus and are distinctive for their extremely long barbels.
