BACK TO FISH
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.
Here at Pet City Joondalup we stock
