Celestial Pearl Danio / Galaxy Rasbora

I was admiring the example which appears as one of the rotating banner images on the homepage of this site and so looked it up on the Fish Profile fishfinder.

I was extremely surprised when, during my last visit to my LFS they had just received a consignment of these little beauties. They were selling them as Galaxy Rasboras. They also had a shoal in one of their show tanks and they looked superb in a heavily planted environment.

They told me they were captive bred and in fact they say that it's quite rare for them to stock wild-caught fish nowadays.

I am now definitely considering adding some of these to my community tank.

I notice I can't add these to my tank in the Community Builder.
Presumably, due to captive breeding, these are no longer as scarce as they once were ... ?

Are there any plans to add these to the Community Builder?

Doh!

I have found that you can add the fish using the name Galaxy Rasbora, but not when viewing the CElestial Pearl Danio.

Sorry for the pointless post.

This fish has had many names since it was discovered a few years ago. Maidenhead Aquatics used to sell it as firework rasbora. And it's had several Latin names as well.
This is what happens when a new fish is rushed out into shops before the taxonomists have had time to look at it.

They are obviously very easy to breed as I have half a dozen (at least) baby ones in my tank which appeared a few weeks ago. I suspect the filamentous algae was probably the saviour of the eggs.
