The panther danio (Danio aesculapii) is a species of danio. Originating in Myanmar and Bangladesh[2], this fish can be kept in community tanks. Before its description it was referred to as Danio species TW03. The panther is a smallish danio which on first glance looks a little dull, but displays a variety of colours when sunlight illuminates the fish on its side.[3]
