Yours look like " Chela caeruleostigmata "

not that one, however a further delve into chela produced Chela dadiburjori the Dadio http/www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=24210

I also found an interesting article on another site (can't name it as it has a fish forum)
One of the "close cousins" of the little danio species is the Dadio (Chela dadyburjori)note the different spelling. This pretty little fish looks very much like a danio, and certainly comes from the same huge family of Cyprinidae. But its sub-family is Cultrinae, unlike the danio species which are of the sub-family Rasborinae. However, for the hobbyist such scientific quibbles are not important, and this stylish little fish might well have been given a common name of a "something" danio! The body shape is a little deeper and the finnage more elongated than that of the danios. The Dadio is also somewhat less robust, although once acclimatised to its surroundings it will flourish without special attention.

So like me to pick a fish that is very closly related to danios

Thanks Luck62 for putting me on the correct track.
