Dwarf Glowlight Danio (Celestichthys choprae ) 2cm

Introducing the captivating Glowlight Danio (Celestichthys choprae), a stunning addition to any aquarium setting. Originating from the northern regions of Myanmar, these vibrant, peaceful creatures bring an abundance of color and activity to both subtropical and tropical community tanks.

With their compact size, reaching just over an inch (2.5 cm) in adulthood, Glowlight Danios thrive in well-decorated aquariums alongside fellow community fish. Their hardy nature and adaptability to various water conditions make them compatible companions for a wide array of aquatic species.

In their natural habitat, Glowlight Danios exhibit schooling behavior, and replicating this environment in captivity is key to their well-being. Keeping them in schools of 6-10 specimens, or even larger groups, minimizes stress and encourages their social nature to flourish.

These micropredators have an eclectic diet, readily accepting high-quality dry foods while benefiting from a varied menu that includes live or frozen meaty treats. Their peaceful demeanor extends to plant life, making them safe inhabitants for planted aquariums adorned with rockwork and driftwood.
