Galaxy Rasbora

Galaxy Rasbora, also known as the celestial pearl danio or CPD (Danio margaritatus), is a stunning and peaceful freshwater fish known for its vibrant, starry pattern across its body. Our galaxy rasbora for sale reach only around 2.5cm fully grown, and their eye-catching appearance and calm nature make them a favourite among aquarists and an ideal addition to any community or nano aquarium.

Location

Galaxy Rasboras are native to the clear streams and rivers of Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and Myanmar. They thrive in tropical freshwater environments with plenty of plants and gentle filtration, making them perfect for well-maintained aquariums.

Diet

Galaxy Rasboras are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet. They readily accept high-quality flake food, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms. Offering a balanced diet ensures their health and helps maintain their vibrant colour.

Care

This species prefers water temperatures between 24°C and 28°C and a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Regular water changes and good filtration are essential to maintain stable water conditions, as Galaxy Rasboras are sensitive to poor water quality.

Habitat

Galaxy Rasboras thrive in well-planted aquariums with gentle water flow. They require plenty of hiding spaces among plants or driftwood, as they are a shy species. They do well in peaceful community tanks with other small, non-aggressive fish that match their size and temperament.

Breeding

Breeding Galaxy Rasboras in captivity is possible with the right conditions. They lay eggs on plants, and once the eggs hatch, the fry can be raised in a separate tank. Proper care and water quality are essential for successful breeding and fry development.
