Live in, 

Native to the Ganges region in Eastern India, wild Zebra Danios are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from fast-moving streams to slow-moving, nearly stagnant ponds. In the homeaquarium, this member of the Cyprinidae family prefers a well-planted aquarium with large open swimming areas.
