| Mainly native to South-east Asia, Rasbora are very peaceful tropical fish, preferring to school in open water areas of the aquarium. Active swimmers, they appreciate plenty of open swimming areas, with some background planting. They are ideal candidates for a community aquarium, with their lively sociable manner. Not fussy about diet, Rasbora's have good appetites and will eat most standard fish foods, but they also enjoy regular feedings of live or frozen foods. For general care, many Rasbora (such as the Scissortail Rasbora) are not particularly fussy about water conditions, as long as extremes are avoided. If trying to breed these egglayers, then soft slightly acidic water is often required to be successful. |
