Chili Rasbora

Details -

Natural Range: Southwest Borneo

Estimated size at shipping: around 0.5"

Sold as: Unsexed

Overview:

A true nano fish, topping out at under an inch, the Chili Rasbora colors up to be a stunning red contrasted by black. They are peaceful fish that go well with other gentle species of an appropriate size. This is a fish which finds comfort in its own kind, so it does best when housed in groups, the bigger the better.

Setup Considerations:

They can be kept in anything from a bare-bones tank to an expertly planted high-tech aquarium. What matters most is that the water quality is good. In the wild, these come from blackwater habitats with soft, acidic water, but this is hardly necessary in the aquarium. Here at Dan's Fish we have very hard, alkaline water and they do great and color up nicely.

Diet: Omnivore

We have found success feeding a rotation of Magic Small Fish Feed from Aquarium Co-Op, live baby brine shrimp, and Xtreme Monster Pellets. Here is a video showing our feeding practices and suggesting good tank mates: https://youtu.be/oK7QRYiytQ8

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
