Breeding Celestial Pearl Danios

[kiwi]

Here is a little about their natural habitat. It looks like they can survive quite cool water like jenniferh states. This article is from: CelestialPearlDanio.com

The Celestial Pearl Danio originates from the country of Myanmar. The general location is near the city of Hopong not far from Taungyi, capital of Southern Shan State. This is a mountainous region where the elevation ranges from just over a half mile to nearly a mile above sea level.

The water where these fish are found is crystal clear with a pH of 7.3 and the conductivity of 250 micro siemen. The pond bottom is covered with sand. The area is mostly grassland and rice paddies, so the ponds are open to the sun and filled with a rich variety of aquatic plants.

The local weather conditions range from warm and pleasant in the summer months with temperatures near 95F to cold, damp, and miserable with temperatures near freezing during the rainy season.

In the article it says that they grow really slowly and reach maturity at around 5 months. Have you found that to be the case kiwi?

I'm not sure if they are slow to grow or not really. By the time they are 2 months old they are just starting to develope their adult colour, spots and orange finage. Overall they are small fish even at adult age.

Adults are about 2.5 to 3 cm right?

Only 2cm. Small but very colourful. I have found them to be very shy fish once they are mature. The young fish don't seem to be shy like the adults though.
