Etymology

Danio: from Dhani, a Bengalese vernacular term for small, minnow-like cyprinids.

Apparently discovered close to the coastal town of Gwa in Rakhine State, western Myanmar. Rakhine is largely cut off from the rest of the country by the Rakhin…

Habitat

Rakhine is located within a tropical monsoon region and has a pronounced rainy season between May and October, while at other times it can be quite dry. The st…
