Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio, often referred to in the aquarium trade as galaxy rasbora or Microrasbora sp. 'Galaxy', [2] is a small freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Danionidae. This fish is from Myanmar and Northern Thailand [3] (in Salween basin).
The aquarium popular Celestial Pearl Danio / Galaxy Rasbora was confirmed as Danio margaritatus, being most closely related to D. erythromicron, and next to D.choprae. Within the devario clade, Microdevario was erected for all but one of the former Microrasboras. There is still uncertainty over the exact relationships for the three miniature ...
The genus name Microrasbora means "small Rasbora", but these fish appear to be more closely related to the Danio species than Rasbora. Speculation exists that Microrasbora erythromicron may be transferred to the genus Danio , but this now seems unlikely.

A phylogenetic analysis of Danio found it indeed close to that genus, but its precise placement was still indeterminable. [5] Shortly thereafter, a new species, Danio margaritatus, was described under the name Celestichthys margaritatus. [6] However, this new species was quickly moved into Danio following further analysis. [7]
