![]() Pygmy Rasbora © Clint Norwood - PetFish.net Latin Name: Boraras maculatus (formerly Rasbora maculatus) Common Names : Pygmy Rasbora, Dwarf Rasbora, Spotted Rasbora Origin: Malaysia and Singapore Minimum Tank Size: 5 gallons, 20 liters Adult Size: 1 Inch, 2.5cm Temperature Range: 75-80°F, 24-27°C Ease Of Keeping: Medium Aggressivness: Not at all, a very timid fish Feeding: Usual fish foods, just smaller bites Comments: This beautiful fish is one of the smallest aquarium fish available, it is really tiny. Adults barely get to one inch in total legth. Kept in a group of 6 or more the Pygmy Rasbora will form a nice school, and be much more active and happy. This fish is easy to feed and keep, but spawning such a tiny fish is very difficult, the fry will require the tiniest of live foods. Pygmies prefer acidic water in the 5 to 6.5 pH range and little or no hardness. This is an excellent fish for the nano planted tank. |
