Hello CPD lovers! :) Can I please ask a few questions>
How many can I keep in a 4 gal cube, 10 X 10 X10?

i would say about about 5 -6 depending of filter and how densly planted it is

Can I keep more than 1 male, all males? I was thinking 3 or 5?

yes you can keep more than 1,
i couldnt see a problem with all males but i would personaly go for 2 males and 4 females or 3 and 3 at a push (again depends on how dense the planting is etc (in reply to atlantis’ comment about males being prettiest same as most things :P )

Are they known to jump?

i have never seen mine jump and rearly see them by the surface (only at feeding when the brine shrimp are at the surface)

What ph do they need?

sorry carnt help you there. but what atlantis said sounds about right

Are they like other danios, always on the move?

mine hide a fair bit (i see them but there normally in the plants)

What do they eat, and how often should they be fed?

i feed mine on brine shrimp (adult) i feed a bag (100 grams) that iu get from my pet store. they all seem to be eaten within a few hours

mine wont touch bloodworm unless they havent be feed for a while, theyll eat live daphina but i hardy feed them it

Any help appreciated, thanks. 8)
