The Emerald Dwarf Rasbora is a tiny, vibrant freshwater fish known for its striking emerald-green sheen and fine horizontal striping. Native to the clear, shallow waters of Inle Lake, this species is perfect for nano and planted aquariums, adding subtle beauty and constant activity. Water Parameters: Temperature: 20–26°C pH: 6.5–7.5 TDS: 100–250 ppm Water Type: Soft to moderately hard, neutral preferred Filtration: Gentle flow with good oxygenation Water Changes: 20–25% weekly Care & Maintenance: Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are relatively hardy but do best in stable, mature aquariums. A densely planted tank with fine-leaved plants, moss, and shaded areas helps them feel secure and display natural behavior. Keep them in groups of at least 8–10, as they are shy and more active in schools. Feed small-sized foods such as micro pellets, crushed flakes, and live or frozen options like baby brine shrimp for optimal health and coloration. Compatibility: These rasboras are peaceful and best suited for calm, nano community setups. Ideal tank mates include other small rasboras, micro tetras, and gentle bottom dwellers. Avoid large, aggressive, or highly active fish that may intimidate or outcompete them for food. With proper care and a planted environment, Emerald Dwarf Rasboras bring a unique shimmer and delicate charm to any freshwater aquarium.
