Zebra Dartfish: A Vibrant Jewel for Your Reef Aquarium

Add a splash of dynamic color and graceful movement to your marine display with the captivating Zebra Dartfish. This peaceful species is a true highlight for any discerning aquarist.

Overview
The Zebra Dartfish (*Ptereleotris zebra*) is a slender, torpedo-shaped fish renowned for its striking appearance. Its body ranges from a light greenish-yellow to grey, adorned with numerous vertical orange to pink bars, often edged with delicate blue or purple. Fascinating blue markings may grace its face, adding to its unique charm. In your aquarium, these active fish will hover gracefully in the mid to upper water column, always ready to dart into a crevice or burrow when startled.

Care Level
Considered a moderate care level species, the Zebra Dartfish is generally peaceful and compatible with most reef-safe inhabitants. They thrive when kept with other docile fish, but can be shy if housed with aggressive tank mates, which may prevent them from feeding adequately. For best results, introduce small groups or pairs simultaneously to promote natural schooling behavior and reduce territorial disputes.

Tank Essentials
A minimum aquarium size of 100 litres is recommended for a pair or small group, with larger tanks offering more stable environments. Provide a fine sand substrate, ample live rock with plenty of hiding spots and crevices, and open swimming space. Maintain stable water conditions within a pH range of 8.1-8.4 and temperatures between 23-28°C. A tight-fitting lid is crucial, as they are prone to jumping when startled.

Diet
Zebra Dartfish are planktivores in nature, constantly sifting food from the water column. In the home aquarium, offer a varied diet of high-quality frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped meaty marine foods, and quality flake or pellet foods several times a day to support their active metabolism.
