Why Choose Rasboras?

Rasboras are some of the best freshwater fish for peaceful community aquariums. They are active schooling fish that bring movement and color to the middle and upper levels of the tank without being overly aggressive or difficult to care for.

Why Hobbyists Love Rasboras

• Peaceful and community-friendly
• Excellent schooling behavior
• Great for planted and nano aquariums
• Beautiful colors and patterns
• Ideal for natural aquascape-style tanks

Great in Planted Aquariums

Rasboras are especially popular in planted aquariums because they add constant movement without overwhelming the aquascape. Their calm nature and attractive schooling behavior make them a favorite for hobbyists building beautiful, balanced displays with live aquarium plants.

Great for Nano and Community Tanks

Many rasbora species stay relatively small, making them an excellent option for nano tanks and peaceful community setups. They pair well with other calm species and are often chosen by hobbyists looking for fish that are active but easy to enjoy.

Popular Rasbora Species and Special Orders

Looking for a particular rasbora? Tropical Treasures Wyo can inquire about specialty varieties through suppliers, subject to availability and confirmed pricing. Species mentioned here are not guaranteed to be currently in stock. All live fish are available for in-store purchase or local pickup only in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Harlequin Rasbora

The harlequin rasbora (Trigonostigma heteromorpha) is a peaceful schooling fish recognized by its copper-orange body and dark triangular patch. Keep it in a group with adequate horizontal swimming room, peaceful tankmates and planted cover.

Chili Rasbora

The tiny chili rasbora (Boraras brigittae) is popular for mature planted nano aquariums. Its small size requires appropriately tiny foods, calm flow and stable water conditions. Avoid large or boisterous tankmates.

Exclamation Point Rasbora

The exclamation point rasbora (Boraras urophthalmoides) is another very small schooling species, with markings resembling an exclamation point. Provide a planted, established aquarium and suitable microfoods.

Galaxy Rasbora / Celestial Pearl Danio

The fish often marketed as galaxy rasbora is actually the celestial pearl danio (Danio margaritatus), rather than a true rasbora. It is a small, spotted freshwater fish suited to peaceful, planted aquariums with cover. Ask about special-order availability; its common trade name can be confusing.

Rasbora Care Tips

• Keep in groups of 6 or more for best schooling behavior
• Provide plants and open swimming space
• Maintain stable, clean water conditions
• Feed a varied diet of quality flakes, micro pellets, and frozen foods
• Avoid aggressive tank mates

Rasbora FAQ

How many rasboras should I keep together?

Most species offered here are social shoaling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six of the same species; for many small species, eight or more is better. Larger groups of eight to twelve often show calmer, more natural schooling behavior.

Are rasboras good for beginners?

Some species, such as Harlequin Rasboras, are often considered approachable for newer keepers once the aquarium is fully cycled. Smaller species, such as Chili Rasboras and Phoenix Rasboras, may need more stable nano tank conditions.

What water conditions do rasboras like?

Provide a mature, well-cycled aquarium and a same-species group. Water needs vary greatly: Asian Rummynose and Emerald Dwarf Danios prefer cooler, more mineral-rich conditions, while Axelrod Rasboras require very soft, acidic water. Match the species to your actual water parameters.

What are good tank mates for rasboras?

Good tankmates include peaceful tetras, corydoras, otocinclus, small loaches, shrimp, snails, and other calm community fish. Avoid aggressive or large predatory fish.
