Blue danio with a 6.5 – 7.0 pH, a water hardness of 8 – 12 dGH, and a temperature range of 73 – 77 °F (23–25 °C). Blue danios are egg-scatterers that spawn over coarse gravel beds. They will typically spawn at the first light of day. The eggs will hatch in about 36 hours. The taxonomic name honors A.F.G. Kerr, who collected the first specimen on Ko Yao Yai in 1929.

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
