Glowlight Danio
Glowlight Danios, sometimes called the Glolight Danio, are one of the original nano tank species featuring remarkable coloration, particularly in a planted aquarium. These small danios are schooling fish, and we recommend a school of four or more. The Glowlight Danio will get along with fancy shrimp and other gentle tank mates. These fish were once called Danio Choprae after collector Dr. Chopra who discovered them in the mountain rivers of Myanmar (Burma at the time).
Glowlight Danios are stunning schooling fish and stand out with darker backgrounds and plants.

Added a school of four Glowlight Danios to my 10-gallon planted tank. They are active and colorful, especially in the evening light. The fish swim in tight groups and look beautiful against dark foliage. Easy to care for and don’t stress other tank inhabitants.

These little fish add a lot of visual interest. I kept them with cherry shrimp and they coexist peacefully. They seem to prefer dimmer lighting and stay near the back of the tank where plants grow.

First time keeping danios and this species impressed me. Their coloration is vibrant and they form a lively school. The tank looks more dynamic with them in it. Very easy to maintain.
