After just observing these beautiful fish for the last 18 months I decided it was time to set them up for spawning.  I picked these guys up from Pete Mang on AquaBid back in 2009 as just some un-identified Danios that came along with the Hikari Danios being auctioned.  For quite some time, I thought they were the stripped version of Danio kyathit, but after looking through Pete Cottle's "Danios & Devarios" book I thought they might be Danio sp. Red Fin.  Using a photo of one of my breeders, Pete thought they could be Red Fin.  However after looking at photos of the F1 fry it was determined that they are indeed Danio sp. kyathit.

These are really beautiful fish and I must thank Glenn Axt for allowing me to use his photo above.  In the right light the rich blue velvet color is high-lighted by the red on the fins.  The males seem to have the best color, but the females are very close behind.
