Glowlight Danio

The Glowlight Danio Danio choprae (previously Danio choprai) is one of the most vibrantly colored danios and one of the smallest, reaching less than 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length. This danio has strikingly beautiful patterning and coloration composed of bars, stripes, and spots in green, gold, red, and turquoise. This cyprinid is every bit as hardy as other small danios, so it makes a great fish for the beginning aquarist. However, it is rather expensive and can be hard to find.
