Danio margaritatus fetched about 25 kyat (about 2 UK pounds/3.9 US$/2.7 EUR) before the fish was discovered for the aquarium trade. The spawning behavior has significant consequences for captive breeding (see below). The celestial pearl danio appears to be adapted to somewhat ephemeral habitats. It does not have a dedicated spawning season, nor do the females lay continuously. Rather, they produce small batches of around 30 eggs per spawning episode. The time between spawnings is unknown at present. Eggs are not strewn freely into the water, but they are not deposited in clutches to a prepared surface either; rather, it seems, that
Danionin rerio", "D. nigrofasciatus", and "D. albolineatus"; the remaining "Danio" species were moved to "Devario", which at this time included "D. malabaricus", "D. kakhienensis", "D. devario", "D. chrysotaeniatus", "D. maetaengensis", "D. interruptus", and "D. apogon". The only "Danio" species to have been consistently called "Danio" were "D. dangila" and "D. feegradei". As "D. dangila" was the first discovered "Danio" (or type) the name "Danio" had to remain with "D. dangila", which is why the vast majority of species were moved to "Devario". Also, the sister group to "Devario" was deemed to be a clade formed by "Inlecypris" and "Chela", and more
