Celestial Pearl Danio (Galaxy Rasbora)
Celestial Pearl Danio's were introduced into the fish hobby in 2006 and have been a tremendous hit due to their gold spotted black body and orange thins. Some reckon the gold spots resemble pearls whilst others suggest stars hence the reason for the two common names.
