After 6 weeks in the QT, our 6 Celestial Pearl Danios are finally in our 34G main tank. It wasn't our plan but our betta in our 5G tank doesn't like company. They were tiny when we got them, but in the 6 weeks they've grown enough we hope to do well in the main tank. They've all done great so far and do not expect any problems from the others in the tank. Our 3 big tiger barbs are so peaceful but I'll keep an eye out for awhile. Been about 4 hours and no problems so far. I noticed these CPDs like to stay at the top so they should be great tank mates with my glofish and platies. My rams usually keep to the bottom. They aren't shy at all; they are small but beautiful!

Here are some pics and video.

Yeah, they did real well in the QT. I found them to be picky eaters at first. Found that they loved Tetra's BettaMin Tropical Medley. I turned off my filters then sprinkled the flakes. They'd then go to the surface and eat it.

I would want mine home-bred...the only wild caught fish I've ever had was my sw angel but that's sw :/ still, gorgeous fish.

Mine usually hid in the plants near the substrate. I'm surprised they are so bold, especially being new to the tank.
