cichlid7 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 it does not look like a pearl danio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Can you elaborate? Tell us what about your fish does not look like the pearl danios? (We only have your picture to go on right now) From the picture it looks virtually identical. Like that picture off the web could actually be your very own picture! So tell us what you see on your fish that is different so we know to stop suggesting pearl danio plz. Does it have a stripe we can't see? Is it bigger than a pearl danio? Are its fins different... ? Or have you just seen 'other' pearl danios that didn't look like this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 it only has a slight tinge of blue where you can see in the photo. and then the rest of it is silver i does not have all the other colour which pearl danios have im not saying that it isn't a pearl danio im just saying it doesn't have all the right colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 But you haven't had it long right? Maybe it's being cheeky and not showing you it's best flush of colour yet ? How bout this one? (Danio Roseus apparently?!) BUT.. read here.. it says that pearl danios are silvery when they're young. Maybe you've got a youngster? IT also compares the Roseus ones to the pearls and says you can tell by the number of rays in the anal fin and by the barbels. http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/p ... cle_id=334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Your pic's a little hard for me to see (due to my screen going pink ) But I'd say it looks like a danio too.... Pearls in my local store look VERY much lighter and hardly any pink or blue on them and more silver looking. To start off with I didn't really like them much as there colour really wasn't much. BUT in my tank they look GREAT! colour has REALLY come out in them! so .....may be thats it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 They very much change colour with lighting so can look different so I have read from a sole Danio web site - danio expert by the sounds of it..... Sorry to the web owner I can't remember were I found it..... :oops: :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
