Celestial Pearl Danio

A Galaxy in Miniature

The Celestial Pearl Danio (Danio margaritatus) — also known as the Galaxy Rasbora — is one of the most visually stunning nano fish ever discovered. Native to small ponds in Myanmar, its deep blue-black body is scattered with iridescent pearl-like spots, while its fins blaze with vivid red-orange stripes. Once you add a school of these to a planted tank, it's impossible to look away.
