 A giant among minnows: Giant danio can keep growing
Because the zebrafish and giant danio are closely related, and the zebrafish’s genome has already been mapped, scientists hope they can more easily identify the genetic keys to the difference in growth potential between them.
The study “Zebrafish and giant danio as models for muscle growth: Determinate versus indeterminate growth as determined by morphometric analysis,” was carried out by Biga and Frederick W. Goetz, both of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Great Lakes Wisconsin Aquatic Technology and Environmental Research (WATER) Institute, Milwaukee.
Although both are small, the danio is a giant among minnows, growing to a maximum of six inches.

 A Giant Among Minnows: Giant Danio Can Keep Growing
The giant danio and zebrafish share much in common genetically but appear to have markedly different abilities to grow.
Two fish that share much in common genetically appear to have markedly different abilities to grow, a finding that could provide a new way to research such disparate areas as muscle wasting disease and fish farming, a new study shows.
In this two-phased experiment, they discovered that the giant danio can keep growing even into adulthood, but the zebrafish stops growing.

  Zebra Danio Summary
Danio rerio or Zebrafish is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidea), commonly kept in aquaria and used for scientific research.
Zebra Danio are susceptible to Oodinium, or Velvet disease.
Zebra Danios serve as a common and useful model organism for studies of vertebrate development and gene function because they reproduce very easily, passing from the egg to the larvae stage in less than three days.

The Giant Danio is a very fast swimming fish and is a wonderful fish to have in a community aquarium.
The Giant Danio will need plenty of swimming space since they swim fast so there should be plants at the back of the aquarium, a few rocks that will not get it there way when they are swimming and for lighting they should have a good source of light.
The Giant Danio will not harm any other fish in the aquarium that is around there size, but they might pick on fish like a male Guppy since they have a lot of color and are slow swimmers.

 UWM News Release
The giant danio is a larger relative of the well-studied zebrafish, and together the fish may be ideal research subjects for scientists investigating such diverse topics as muscle growth in fish farm species or degenerative muscle diseases in humans.
Giant danio are about six inches long as adults, can provide regular blood samples and are just as easy to raise in lab settings as their smaller relatives.
If their genetics are compatible, giant danio could replace zebrafish in physiology studies that require larger specimens.

 The Zebra Danio and its escape response
The Zebra danio is a small tropical fish, which has many predators (larger fish) eager to have it for dinner.
If the predator is too far away, if it is moving slowly, or if it is moving in the opposite direction, it should appear harmless and should not cause undue panic and inappropriate escape response, since this uses up the prey's energy to no good purpose.
If the predator is coming quickly towards the danio, and approaching directly, it should be perceived as a threat and should trigger the escape response.

 Dances with Danios
Even though some Danios have been known to the hobby for over 50 years, many new species have been discovered in the last five to ten years, mostly in Myanmar, also known as the Asian country of Burma, and have yet to be scientifically described (although most of them are already in the hobby).
Danios are best kept in tanks well suited for their active lifestyle.
Size the tankmates to the size of the Danios because, as mentioned earlier, Danios are boisterous and a larger Danio may inadvertently nip or shred the fins of smaller fish.
