Celestial Pearl Danio

This tiny but absolutely stunning shoaling species took the fishkeeping world by storm in early 2007. Originating from small ponds heaving with dense aquatic vegetation, Danio margaritatus is found in shallow areas up to 30cm in depth. Ideally, this is a species that will be maintained in groups of 10 or more in the home aquarium, not only for the fish to feel secure, but also to further the chances of breeding.
