How easy are they to keep? The Harlequin Rasbora’s are great beginner fish, being a hardy and colourful fish. A large school of Harlequin Rasboras fill the upper areas of the aquarium with movement and colour so lively and vibrant that even non-hobbyists marvel at the display, we recommend a minimum of 6 to truly appreciate this fish.
How big do they grow? They will grow up to 5cm long.
What is the best sized tank for these? A minimum of 30 Litres, however we recommend when it comes to aquariums the bigger the better.
What is best to feed them? An omnivore, the Harlequin Rasbora’s can be fed a variety of flake, frozen, freeze dried and live foods for a varied diet. Check out the different variety foods you available in our store
What water conditions do they require? Temperature can range from 23-26°C. Although the Harlequin Rasbora’s comes from soft acidic water we recommend keeping a pH of 7 -7.5.
What can they be kept with? A great community fish can be kept with variety fish such as Tetras, Discus, Angels, Livebearers, Gourami’s, Corydoras and many more. Please see the compatibility chart for more information.
Where are they from? Blackwater forest streams of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore & Thailand.
Can they be bred in captivity? Rasbora heteromorpha generally spawns on the undersides of broad-leaved plants. A breeding tank with shallow, warm, acidic, soft water with broad-leaved plants should be set up. To encourage spawning, pair a young (9-12 months old) female Harlequin Rasbora with a two-year old male and offer live food items. After spawning, remove the parents and keep the aquarium dark until the eggs hatch (after about 24 hours). Feed the fry infusoria.
