Native Range: Hopong, east of Inle Lake
Max. Length: 1 inch
Water: 68 - 79°F, pH: 6.5 - 7.5
Feeding: Carnivore
Behavior & Care: The Celestial Pearl Danio is a rather undemanding fish if its basic requirements are being taken care of. It seems quite hardy but obviously thrives best in fairly soft and slightly alkaline water at not too high a temperature - conditions that can often be met with pretreated tap water. It does not require much space, as it is not a very active swimmer, and is not a true shoaling fish, meaning it does not require large numbers of conspecifics for its well-being.
