🐟 Galaxy Rasbora Danio margaritatus

The Galaxy Rasbora (Danio margaritatus) is a moderate-care, peaceful species from Myanmar. Adults reach roughly 0.9", so plan on a minimum tank of 10 gallons. Keep the water between 71–79°F with a pH of 6.5–7.5. This is a schooling fish — keep a group of at least 8 so it feels secure and colors up. As an omnivore, it does best on a varied diet appropriate to its feeding style.
