Chili Rasbora (Boraras brigittae)
Strawberry Rasbora (Boraras naevus) are one of the smallest nano fish. Coming in at just under 2cm as an adult. As they grow older the colour starts developing a bright orange. They are very peaceful. Also, they will add some colour to your tank without looking unnatural. You can feed them Hikari Fancy Guppy or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.

All the fish arrived healthy and are very active. They don’t seem to be shy at all together with many shrimp in a planted tank.

Tiny fish with a beautiful red colour. They’re perfect for a nano set up. I have them with some CPD’s and they’re not shy at all.

Absolutely stunning nano fish when given the chance to colour up. They work well in planted nano tanks but are absolutely amazing in a massive school in a large tank.

I bought these fish for a nano planted. They are lively little guys.
They need time to properly colour up, so we will see what they look like in a few months.
All in all a great fish for a nano aquarium.
