The '''Burma zebra danio''' or '''KP01 danio''' is a [[tropical]] [[fish]] belonging to the minnow family ([[Cyprinidae]]). It is believed to originate in [[Myanmar]]. This fish was discovered in 2006 and is believed to be a separate species from the [[zebra danio]] (which occurs many miles away in India) to which it has a close resemblance. However, it is more likely to be closely related to the [[Yoma danio]] (also from [[Myanmar]]), and is believed to be a similar size, 6–9 cm, to the latter.

In the wild, the Burma zebra danio is likely found in rivers in a [[tropical]] climate and prefer water with a 6.5 - 7.0 [[pH]], a water hardness of 5.0 - 12.0 [[dGH]], and an ideal temperature range of 75-82 °F (24-28 °C). The Burma zebra danio is oviparous (an egg layer).
