Danionella dracula
Conway & Rüber, 2009

Males carry a row of tooth-like processes in the jaws ending in a large fang-like pair, a structure unique among cypriniform fishes according to current knowledge. It grows to around 17 mm SL, has been sold as Danionella sp. 'neon green', and is best kept alone in a school of a dozen or more.

Danionella priapus
Britz, 2009

Males have a conical projection of the genital papilla forming a funnel between the pelvic fins, a feature that may be unique within the Cypriniformes. Referred to as D. sp. 'Jorai River' before its description, it grows to 16 mm SL and was collected from a sluggish, densely vegetated stream alongside Dario dario.

Danionella translucida
