Stunning coloration!
A gorgeous nano fish for an active, community aquarium. They are trendy at the moment, and somewhat difficult to find.
These are often called Galaxy Rasboras, from the beautiful yellow spots on their shimmery, iridescent blue bodies. Celestial Pearl Danios truly deserve their status as a favored nano tank fish!
This species (Celestichthys margaritatus) is originally from India and display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will grow to a maximum of 1 inch. Tiny!
They are very peaceful and absolutely love live food such as brine shrimp, Artemia, and other micro fauna. While omnivorous, be sure to feed them a higher protein diet with a bit of vegetable flake here and there.
