About

Danio erythromicron is a tiny cyprinid found only in Lake Inle, Myanmar. FishBase records a maximum of 3cm, pH up to 7.0, 10-25 dH and 21-25C. Seriously Fish gives 2cm SL, 20-24C, pH 7.0-8.0, 12-20 dGH and a 60 x 30cm base, and treats the fish as Celestichthys erythromicron. Blue-green bars over an orange ground make it, along with Danio margaritatus from the same lake, one of the most sought-after nano fish. It was formerly placed in Microrasbora, then in Danio, and later in Celestichthys. It is timid and will be outcompeted and cowed by larger or boisterous tankmates; other small Myanmar danios and Microdevario species suit it better. It is an egg scatterer with no parental care. Degradation of Lake Inle has led the IUCN to list it as Endangered.
