Giant danio aquariums. The larger cichlids chase and defend their territories against the giant danios, which allows the cichlids to exhibit more natural behavior. As egg-scatterers, danios produce around 300 eggs in a single spawning. They spawn in clumps of plants. A so-called "golden giant danio", sometimes seen, is in reality a partial albino fish. "Devario affinis", "Devario browni", "Devario malabaricus", and "Devario strigillifer" were originally deemed synonyms, but are now valid species. The main component of giant danios' diet in the wild are flying insects. This diet is supplemented with aquatic invertebrates such as worms and crustaceans. In captivity giant danios
Danionin rerio", "D. nigrofasciatus", and "D. albolineatus"; the remaining "Danio" species were moved to "Devario", which at this time included "D. malabaricus", "D. kakhienensis", "D. devario", "D. chrysotaeniatus", "D. maetaengensis", "D. interruptus", and "D. apogon". The only "Danio" species to have been consistently called "Danio" were "D. dangila" and "D. feegradei". As "D. dangila" was the first discovered "Danio" (or type) the name "Danio" had to remain with "D. dangila", which is why the vast majority of species were moved to "Devario". Also, the sister group to "Devario" was deemed to be a clade formed by "Inlecypris" and "Chela", and more
