    Pearl Danio

    Origins:Southeast Asia, from Myanmar (Burma) to Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and Sumatra.
    Size: 2 & 1/2"
    Diet:Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 72-75F;soft (50 mg/l) and acidic to neutral (pH 6.5-7.0)
    Temperament:Lively, active shoalers.

    The Pearl Danio's violet-blue coloration is most evident over the rear of its body, where it is broken by a thin, yellowish-red stripe along the midline. Males are typically slimmer bodied. Occupying the upper levels of the tank, this very active danio needs plenty of clear space for swimming. Include fine leaved plants in the spawning tank. Feed young Pearl Danio fry food at first, then brine shrimp.
