The '''rose danio''' ('''''Danio roseus''''') is a tropical fish of the family Danionidae. At first glance, this species resembles the pearl danio, but lacks the orange stripe on the side. It has a rosy colouration along the lower part of the fish and lower fins and gleams purple-blue in sunlight. It is also commonly known as the '''purple passion danio'''. Its natural range includes the Mekong River drainage in China, Thailand. Laos, and Myanmar.
