Celestichthys margaritatus

The Celestichthys margaritatus, or Celestial Pearl Danio, is a small but breathtakingly beautiful fish with iridescent pearl-like spots on its body and bright orange fins, resembling a starry night sky. **Care Tips:** - **Schooling Behavior:** These danios thrive in groups, ideally of at least six-to-eight individuals, which promotes their natural behavior and helps reduce stress. - **Plant Coverage:** They appreciate heavily planted tanks which provide cover and mimic their natural environment. - **Diet:** They are omnivorous and will accept high-quality flake food, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia. - **Breeding:** They can breed in captivity, generally requiring separate breeding tanks with gentle filtration. - **Compatibility:** Relatively peaceful, they can be housed with other small, non-aggressive fish. Avoid larger or aggressive species that may see them as prey.
