Description
The Galaxy Rasbora, also known as the Celestial Pearl Danio, is a small and beautiful freshwater fish that is native to Myanmar. It is highly sought after by aquarium enthusiasts due to its vibrant colors and unique patterns.
The Galaxy Rasbora has a striking appearance, with a shimmering metallic blue body adorned with orange, red, and black spots. It has a peaceful nature and is generally compatible with other small, non-aggressive fish.
In terms of care, the Galaxy Rasbora prefers a well-maintained aquarium with a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5 and a temperature range of 73-79°F (23-26°C). It is important to provide them with plenty of hiding spots, such as plants or caves, as they enjoy having places to retreat to.

Breeding the Galaxy Rasbora can be a bit challenging, as they require specific conditions to spawn successfully.

It is recommended to keep a separate breeding tank with specific water parameters and a small group of Rasboras.
Overall, the Galaxy Rasbora is a stunning addition to any aquarium and can be a joy to watch. Just make sure to provide them with appropriate care and a suitable environment to thrive in.
