This is a brand new species, only first discovered last year. It was also recently renamed from "Galaxy Rasbora - Microrasbora sp." to "Celestial Pearl Danio - Celestichthys margaritatus." It comes from only one known location in Myanmar (formerly Burma)
It’s bright coloration and small size make it a perfect addition to a planted aquarium. It is similar to other danio in habits and shape. The males are much more brightly colored than the females and have a deeper blue coloration with much more red on the fins. Since this fish is so small even fully grown, it is advisable to keep it in a tank of non-aggressive smaller fish that won't try to eat it. Not much information is available on its natural habitat. Like almost any fish, it will be much healthier and happier with live aquarium plants.
