Leopard danios is a variant of Zebra Danio


This 'species' is not known in the wild; at least, not with any certainty. It may come from Thailand as some people say but, on the other hand; it may be no more than a mutant type of B. rerio or Very recent evidence obtained by the British aquarist, Dr George Cust, indicates in the strongest possible way that B. frankei is indeed a mutant strain of B. rerio, the Zebra Danio. Genetic ratios of 3 rerio: 1 frankei obtained from interbreeding hybrids in the second generation provide pretty conclusive evidence. It is likely, therefore, that the name will cease to be regarded as a valid scientific name in due course. A long-finned variety of Leopard Danio is now also available.
