Danios

I like danios...They are small and CUTE!

I was in my LFS yesterday and saw some pearl danios and they looked like this (quite pink and very shiny):

So I asked what they were called and the lovely lady said pearl danios. So I came home and tried to look them up on the net. I typed pearl danio into google images and these lil fellas came up:

Is it another type of peral danio?

I think both of these fish are stunning and would like to know more about them and if they would suit my community tank.

thanks

The first link is the pearl danio, Danio albolineatus. The second is the celestial pearl danio, previously called galaxy rasbora, Latin name Celestichthys margaritatus, though according to PFK, some experts now think it should be Danio margaritatus.
Don't know much about pearl danios, but I have some celestial pearls and they are lovely little fish.
