My nano tank has celestial pearl danios and white cloud mountain minnows for two years. Recently, I introduced emerald dwarf raspora. Here two of them are meeting for the first time.

I know it's a big if, but if either of those species breed, the offspring may not be pure celestial pearl danios (Celestichthys margaritatus) or emerald rasbora (C. erythromicron).

From the compatibility section on cpd profile on Seriously Fish

The closely-related C. erythromicron is not recommended as it’s probably capable of hybridising with C. margaritatus

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. But is it a problem if they live and die in my tank? I have had the CPDs for going on two years and they never spawned or bred in the tank.

No it's not a problem if they stay in your tank.

That's why I said ' it's a big if'
