The Galaxy Rasbora, also known as the Celestial Pearl Danio (Danio margaritatus), is a stunning nano fish adored by aquarists for its vibrant colors and peaceful temperament. Native to small freshwater ponds in Myanmar, this tiny species features a deep blue body adorned with bright pearl-like spots and vivid orange fins—creating a truly celestial display in any aquarium.
Perfect for planted and community tanks, Galaxy Rasboras thrive in groups of 6 or more and prefer calm, well-filtered environments.
