Sundadanio axelrodi is a danionin in the family Cyprinidae, the only species in the genus Sundadanio. Originally described as a rasbora, Rasbora axelrodi, this tiny species was later deemed to be more closely related to the danios but not enough to be moved into the genus Danio. It has a number of colour morphs. Sundadanio reaches a maximum size of 2.3 cm (0.9 in).
