The scientific name for the Glowlight Danio is Celestichthys Choprae. It is also commonly known as the Glowlight Rasbora or Chopra’s Danio.

Habitat:
Glowlight Danios are native to the rivers and streams of Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Thailand. They prefer slow-moving waters with dense vegetation and sandy or gravelly substrates.

Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for your Glowlight Danios, a well-maintained aquarium of at least 10 gallons is recommended. It should be equipped with a gentle filtration system, as these fish prefer calm waters. Adding live plants and driftwood will mimic their natural environment and provide hiding spots. Ensure the tank is securely covered, as these danios are skilled jumpers.

Diet and Nutrition:
Glowlight Danios are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms. Offering a varied diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.

These danios are relatively small, reaching an average size of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5 cm) in length. They have a moderate growth rate and will reach their adult size within a few months.

Behavioral Traits:
Glowlight Danios are peaceful and active fish, known for their playful nature. They are schooling fish, so it is recommended to keep them in groups of at least six individuals. This will promote their natural behavior and reduce stress. They are compatible with other peaceful community fish, but avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.

The eggs will hatch within 24 to 48 hours, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or commercially available fry food.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining good water quality is crucial for the health of your Glowlight Danios. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and monitoring ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are essential. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases. It is also recommended to provide a balanced diet and avoid overfeeding.
