Sundadanio axelrodi
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox Sundadanio axelrodi is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sundadanionidae, the tiny danios. This fish is known only from Bintan Island in the Riau Islands east of Sumatra.[1] 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. Sundadanio axelrodi reaches a maximum size of 1.7 cm. Sundadanio was considered monotypic until the genus was reassessed by Conway, Kottelat and Tan in 2011.[2]
Etymology
Named in honor of pet-book publisher Herbert R. Axelrod (b. 1927), who discovered this species in the tanks of a Singapore aquarium fish exporter.[3]
