A new species of danio discovered in Burma by Tin Win in 2005. The only one of the true danios not yet seen by hobbyists.

Still awaiting a scientific name, temporarily referred to as Danio sp. TW01. It is possible that it is a colour morph of Danio feegradei to which it is probably related but indications are that it is a separate species.
