Pearl Danio – Danio albolineatus

The Pearl Danio (Danio albolineatus) is a silver fish with a blue and pink iridescent sheen. The fins are transparent, and the ventral and anal fins are often tinged with pink. In some fish, a thin pink stripe runs horizontally from the base of the tail toward the front of the body. Females are plumper than the more streamlined males.

Many tropical community aquariums are populated with tetras, rasboras and other similar schooling fish. Though these fish are rather small, their pleasant temperaments, the schooling behaviors they exhibit and a vast variety of colors and shapes make them popular in the hobby. They can grow anywhere from a few centimeters to a few inches, and can add movement to a freshwater fish tank. Most of these fish are fairly easy to care for and have similar water chemistry and care requirements.
