The Strawberry Rasbora is a tiny, peaceful freshwater schooling fish that thrives in a mature, densely planted aquarium with gentle filtration, subdued lighting, and plenty of hiding places. Because of its small size and timid nature, it is best kept in groups of 8–10 or more and housed with other similarly peaceful nano species. Soft to moderately hard, slightly acidic to neutral water is generally ideal, with stable temperatures around 72–79°F. Feed very small foods such as crushed flakes, micro-pellets, baby brine shrimp, and other appropriately sized frozen Gamma or live foods. Its vibrant red-orange coloration becomes especially striking when the fish feel secure in a well-established planted environment. I can also create an image featuring the Strawberry Rasbora.
