Danio choprae, the glowlight danio and originally offered as the world's
most expensive danio.
Great fish, little information as you already know. Treat them like other
danios, with maybe more plants than the others. They are much more
colourful. We found that when sexually active, the males get much darker
and the females lighten up. considerably. A very attractive pair at that
time. Spawning was straight forward, although the numbers of fry don't
approach those of, say, the zebra danio. They seem to be too shy to spawn
in a bare, marble bottom tank, so a small, well planted tank was used with
success.
Enjoy your rarity.
