Young small fish but starting to colour up.

The Celestial Pearl Danio (Danio margaritatus), also known as the Galaxy Rasbora, is a small and striking fish that makes a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. With their vibrant blue bodies dotted with white spots, they resemble tiny, living galaxies, especially under good lighting. These fish typically reach a maximum size of about 1 inch (2.5 cm), making them perfect for smaller tanks. Celestial Pearl Danios are best kept in schools of six or more, where they exhibit natural schooling behavior, darting gracefully through the water in tight, coordinated groups. Ideal water parameters for this species include a temperature range of 72–78°F (22–26°C), a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.5–7.5), and soft to moderately hard water (5–15 dGH). Known for their peaceful demeanor, they get along well with other non-aggressive community fish of similar size, including other peaceful species like the Galaxy Rasbora. Their small size and docile nature make them an excellent choice for a well-planted community aquarium, where they can thrive and showcase their beautiful coloration and active behavior.
