Having only been discovered in 2006, the Celestial Pearl Danio is a new addition to the aquarium hobby. This species originates from a very small area in the Salween basin of Myanmar, specifically the Nam Pawn and Nam Lang rivers. These fish have a striking metallic blue body covered with iridescent spots and orange bands on the fins. The males of the species are notably more colorful and also exhibit black bands on the fins. Females of this species will appear duller in coloration and will have pale red fins.
