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.

Rasbora is a genus of fish in the family Danionidae. [1] They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China. [2] A single species, R. gerlachi, is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (), but this locality is considered doubtful. [3]
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]
