Celestial Pearl Danio: Your Galaxy in a Nano Aquarium

Add a constellation of colour to your planted tank with the exquisite Celestial Pearl Danio. These tiny, captivating fish bring vibrant life and peaceful charm to your aquatic world.

Overview

The Celestial Pearl Danio (*Danio margaritatus*) is a miniature jewel, boasting a metallic blue-grey body sprinkled with striking pearl-like spots reminiscent of a starry night. Males display brighter red-orange fins with elegant black stripes, particularly during courtship. Active yet peaceful, these small danios thrive in groups, constantly exploring densely planted environments, adding dynamic beauty to your aquarium.

Care Level

Considered easy to moderate, Celestial Pearl Danios are an excellent choice for dedicated nano aquarists. They are peaceful schooling fish, best kept in groups of at least 6-10 to promote natural behaviour and reduce shyness. They get along well with other small, gentle species, making them suitable for a harmonious community setup.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 40-litre aquarium is recommended for a small group, with larger tanks preferred for bigger schools. Aim for stable water parameters: pH 6.5–7.5 and a temperature range of 22–26°C. Provide a heavily planted environment with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas to make your fish feel secure and showcase their best colours.

Diet

These omnivorous micro-predators thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality, finely crushed flakes or micro-pellets, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp, daphnia, or micro worms. Feed small amounts two to three times daily, ensuring they can consume it quickly.
