In 1991, though, the two genera were recombined most larger species formerly within the genus Danio have now been reclassified into the genus Devario. About a century later (1916) and with many more species described in the meantime, the genus was split the larger species into Danio and the smaller species into the genus Brachydanio. Two of the species included by him in the genus, still remain valid- D. Danio was described in the early 19th century by Francis Hamilton. The name 'danio' comes from the Bangla name dhani, meaning 'of the rice field'. Species of this genus consume various small aquatic insects, crustaceans and worms. Some species have two pairs of long barbels. They are generally characterised by a pattern of horizontal stripes, rows of spots or vertical bars. Danio is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae found in South and Southeast Asia, commonly kept in aquaria.
