About
Danionella dracula is one of the world's smallest vertebrates. Males display extraordinary tusk-like bone projections for male rivalry — remarkable for such a tiny fish. A specialist nano tank species.
Care Guide
pH 6.5–7.5, temp 22–26°C. Very small size requires appropriate micro-food: infusoria, micro-worms, newly hatched brine shrimp. Keep in groups of 10+.
