Devario is a genus of the Bärblings (Rasborinae). The freshwater fish are found on the Indian subcontinent , on Sri Lanka and in Southeast Asia as far as Thailand . They live in flowing and standing water, sometimes on flooded rice fields.
features
Devario species have an elongated, laterally strongly flattened body and reach a length of three cm to 15 cm. Females are usually duller in color than males, are plump and grow a little larger. The mouth is terminal or slightly above. It is flanked by one or two pairs of barbels , but they can also be reduced or absent. In contrast to the reduced or missing sideline in the genus Danio, the sideline is complete. The dorsal fin has eight to 17 divided rays, the anal fin eleven to 17, always more than in the genus Danio .
Devario species are not schooling fish as such, but live in social groups that live in the middle and upper areas of their home waters. A male and a female each separate briefly for reproduction.
