Description
Rummy-nose rasbora are endemic to Inle Lake in Shan State, Myanmar. Growing up to 3.5cm in length, these peaceful freshwater nano fish are renowned for the males' red heads and tail lobes against bluish flanks, whilst the females are olive-brown. They are Asian rasbora, unrelated to the South American rummy-nose tetra.
Rummy-nose rasbora are best kept in groups of six or more, with four females to each male. The males will fight each other, but they are peaceful with other species.
These fish suit cooler water of 18 to 22 degrees C. To mimic their natural environment, consider a planted aquarium with a dark substrate and a gentle flow.
Rummy-nose rasbora are micropredators. At Wirral Aquatics we feed our rummy-nose rasbora Artemia, Artemia powder and daphnia.
