Males show a deep blue body scattered with pearl-white spots and bright orange-red fins, like a tiny galaxy in motion. Discovered in the cool highland ponds of Myanmar, these peaceful micro-fish stay under an inch and shoal beautifully in a well-planted aquarium, making them a perfect centerpiece for nano and shrimp tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 4px; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.25; border-left: 4px solid #1E88E5; padding-left: 8px;\"\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestial Pearl Danios are shy by nature and feel safest in groups of at least six, where the males color up and display to one another. Give them a densely planted tank with gentle flow and plenty of cover so they venture out and show their best color. They come from cooler waters, so they thrive at the lower end of the tropical range and do not need a hot tank. Because their mouths are tiny, feed small foods such as crushed flakes, micro pellets, and baby brine shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 4px; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.25; border-left: 4px solid #1E88E5; padding-left: 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin: 4px 0; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eScientific name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDanio margaritatus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eCommon names\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003eCelestial Pearl Danio, CPD, Galaxy Rasbora\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003eMyanmar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eCare level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eAdult size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003eAbout 0.75 to 1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eMinimum tank\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003e10 gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003ePeaceful, shoaling (keep 6 or more)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003eOmnivore, micro foods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003e73 to 79°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; background: #E3F2FD; padding: 6px 10px; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left;\"\u003epH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #BBDEFB; padding: 6px 10px;\"\u003e6.5 to 7.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 4px; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.25; border-left: 4px solid #1E88E5; padding-left: 8px;\"\u003eTank Mates \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCPDs are ideal for peaceful nano communities.
