Burmese Glowlight Danio (Danio choprae) – Lively Color with Iridescent Charm

The Burmese Glowlight Danio, also known as Danio choprae, is a vibrant and energetic schooling fish that brings sparkle and motion to freshwater aquariums. Named for its glowing orange and neon green stripes, this small species flashes with iridescence under aquarium lighting, creating a dazzling display. Native to the cool, clear streams of Myanmar, it thrives in well-oxygenated water with moderate current and ample swimming space.

Highly active and social, Burmese Glowlight Danios are best kept in groups where they showcase their bold colors and swift, darting movements.

Key Features:

  • Latin Name: Danio choprae

  • Common Name: Burmese Glowlight Danio

  • Coloration: Orange body with horizontal neon green and reddish-gold stripes

  • Temperament: Peaceful, active, and social

  • Size: Up to 1.4 inches

  • Tank Requirements: Minimum 15 gallons; clean, cool, well-oxygenated water with open swimming areas

  • Diet: Omnivorous—quality flakes, micro pellets, and small frozen foods such as bloodworms or brine shrimp

  • Compatibility: Great for community tanks; keep in groups of 6 or more

Tips:

  • Cooler water (68–75°F) helps mimic their natural habitat and keep them vibrant.

  • A well-planted tank with open space supports both hiding and schooling behavior.

  • Provide a gentle current to simulate natural stream flow.

  • Avoid slow-moving or long-finned tankmates that may be stressed by their fast swimming.

Why Choose This Fish?
The Burmese Glowlight Danio adds a burst of color and energy to any aquarium. With its shimmering stripes, active schooling habits, and peaceful temperament, it’s a fantastic choice for aquarists seeking a lively yet harmonious addition to their community tank.
