Description
While they are known under several different common names, Celestichthys margaritatus is a giant in the nanofish world. These Celestial Pearl Danio are perhaps one of the most interestingly colored danios of them all. With a dark dusky olive background which is covered in tiny creme mottled flecks and racing stripes of bright orange along their fins, these are incredibly beautiful fish to behold in any setting. Absolutely peaceful with a strong bias towards being in planted tanks for cover and safety, this is a true stunner in any aquascape. This species is a shoaling species and definitely requires multiple numbers of its own kind to do best, so we always recommend introducing these fish in groups of six or more. These schooling fish do not ship individually bagged.
