Description
Harlequin rasbora are native to Southeast Asia, growing up to 5cm, they are best identified by black, triangular wedge on the posterior half of their bodies. They are an excellent schooling fish. Special requirements: Harlequin rasboras must be kept in groups of six or more to prevent stress and promote their tight, schooling behaviour. Harlequin rasboras are typically found in blackwater peat swamps and forest streams, to mimic this environment, use live plats in your aquarium and consider floating plants that will offer subdued lighting.
They can jump so be sure that the tank lid is firmly closed. Diet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our harlequin rasboras a range of foods including EBO pro soft artemia powder, insect meal and spirulina. They also enjoy a range of live foods too. Tank size: 40 litres +, although the bigger the better as they love to swim! Tank mates: Great tank mates are other peaceful community fish such as tetras, corys, dwarf gouramis and guppies.
