The Glowlight Danio, scientifically known as Danio choprai, is a vibrant and attractive species in the aquarium hobby, celebrated for its striking coloration and lively nature. This small, slender fish typically grows to about 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6 inches) in length. The Glowlight Danio is easily recognizable by its bright orange to red horizontal stripe that runs the length of its body, from the nose to the tail. This stripe is set against a darker body, ranging from blue to purple, which creates a beautiful contrast. The fins of the Glowlight Danio may also exhibit hints of the same bright coloration. Known for their hardiness and adaptability, these fish are a popular choice for community aquariums.
