Glowlight Danio
Danio choprae, formerly Celestichthys choprae. The glowlight danio from Myanmar is a stunning relative newcomer to the hobby. They are peaceful schooling fish with neon orange stripes and green highlights that mostly occupy the upper half of the tank. A nice burst of colour and activity for community aquaria.
These are subadult specimens, around 1-1.25″ long.

The glowlight danios are vibrant and active. They add a lot of color to the tank without being aggressive. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still healthy and swimming together in groups. Great for a beginner aquarist looking for a colorful, calm fish.
Natalie Martin –
They arrived quickly and look exactly as described. The orange and green stripes are very noticeable. I keep them with neon tetras and they get along well. A little shy at first but settle in after a week.

I love the energy they bring to my 10-gallon tank. They swim in tight groups and create a lively atmosphere. Easy to care for and don’t require much maintenance.
