Overview

Celestial Pearl Danios have pearl-like spots and colourful fins on a tiny body. They reward a quiet, densely planted aquarium where the group feels safe enough to display.

English name Celestial Pearl Danio
Latin name Danio margaritatus
Origin Shan Plateau, Myanmar, and nearby areas
Adult size 2-2.5 cm
Typical lifespan 3-5 years
Temperament Generally peaceful with appropriate companions
Tank level Middle and lower
Social needs Keep at least 8-10 with plenty of cover; avoid a heavily male-biased group.

Tank Setup

Aquarium size At least 50 litres with a 60 × 30 cm base for a group.
Temperature 20-24°C
pH 6.5-7.5
Hardness 5-15 dGH
Water type Freshwater

Use fine planting and moss, gentle flow and small open areas. Stable cooler tropical conditions suit them better than persistent heat.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Shy with larger or boisterous fish; males display and spar. Provide cover so less dominant fish can retreat.

Diet & Feeding

Offer tiny microgranules, crushed flakes and suitable small frozen or live foods.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.

You can order online for Click & Collect. We will confirm when your livestock is ready to collect from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not deliver live fish or aquatic invertebrates. Please have a suitable, fully prepared aquarium ready before collection.
