pearl danio
danio albolineatus latin

The celestial pearl danio shares its habitat with very few fish species.

The celestial pearl danio is a rather undemanding fish if its basic requirements are being taken care of.

The celestial pearl danio seems overall quite peaceful, though some fin-nipping occurs.

In the wild, the pearl danio is found in along the surface of small, clear rivers and hill streams.

At first glance this species resembles the pearl danio, but lacks the orange stripe on the side.

It appears that the celestial pearl danio is adapted to somewhat ephemeral habitat.

Two other danios, both formerly named are currently deemed synonyms of the pearl danio.

The pearl danio is an egglayer.

Less than a year after the discovery of the celestial pearl danio, it was scientifically described and given the genus name Celestichthys.

It tends to be smaller than the Pearl Danio and have a distinctive wide luminous orange stripe which peters out under the dorsal.

Danio albolineatus (Pearl danio)

The pearl danio (Danio albolineatus) is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae).

Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio, often referred to in the aquarium trade as galaxy rasbora or Microrasbora sp.

The Blue-Redstripe Danio is a fish that may be color morph of the widely known Pearl Danio.

The Kedah Danio (Danio tweediei) is a color morph of the fish species pearl danio.

Initially the celestial pearl danio was assumed to be a member of the genus Microrasbora, due to its similarity to "Microrasbora" erythromicron.

Tanks for the celestial pearl danio should be well-planted and direct daylight may be favorable (the natural habitat is so shallow as to be well lit throughout).

Originating from South-east Asia in south Thailand, Kedah and Sumatra, this fish is rarely found in the fish keeping hobby, usually accidentally mixed with the pearl danio.

In 2008 a more comprehensive study showed that the celestial pearl danio was a member of the genus Danio, with Danio erythromicron and Danio choprae as its closest relatives.

The celestial pearl danio is prolific, spawning "almost every day", causing ponds that were thought to be empty to be fully restocked a few months later as fry hatched, grew, and reproduced quickly.
