Pearl Emerald Dwarf Danio Hybrid (Danio margaritatus × Danio erythromicron)

Quarantined nano danio hybrid for planted and community aquariums in Canada.

The Pearl Emerald Dwarf Danio is a hybrid-type nano danio associated with Celestial Pearl Danio and Emerald Dwarf Danio lines. It combines the appeal of two popular planted-tank nano fish and is best presented as a specialty aquarium strain rather than a formally described wild species.

Why This Fish Stands Out

• Unique nano danio hybrid with strong planted-tank appeal
• Combines traits associated with CPD and Emerald Dwarf Danio lines
• Good authority product for hobbyists interested in uncommon nano fish

Aquarium Setup & Behaviour

Keep in a mature planted aquarium with stable water, small foods, cover, and peaceful tankmates. Treat it like a delicate nano danio, not a rough community fish.

Best kept in a group. Group keeping supports confidence, movement, and more natural display behaviour.

Feeding

Feed small micro foods such as micro-pellets, crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, and frozen cyclops.

Natural Colour & Livestock Integrity

Colour and pattern reflect the line and healthy conditioning. Topick Aquarium does not use hormones to artificially enhance colour.

Topick Aquarium Livestock Standard

All fish at Topick Aquarium are carefully quarantined and conditioned to our stable local tap water before sale. Danios and killifish can come from very different natural habitats, but stable water, gradual acclimation, species-appropriate feeding, and a mature aquarium are more important than chasing exact wild parameters.

Is Pearl Emerald Dwarf Danio a pure wild species?
No. It is best presented as a hybrid-type aquarium strain associated with Danio margaritatus and Danio erythromicron.

Can it be kept like CPD?
Yes, its care is similar to small nano danios: mature planted tank, group keeping, small foods, and stable water.

Should I keep it alone?
No. It is much better kept in a group for confidence and natural movement.
