Chilli Rasbora (Boraras brigittae)
The Chilli Rasbora is a nano fish that stands out due to its vibrant red and orange hues, making it a favorite for aquarists with small, well-planted tanks. Despite its small size, it is incredibly colorful, with males displaying bright red tones during breeding. These fish are peaceful and best kept in schools, as they are social creatures that thrive in groups. They’re ideal for aquascapes or aquariums where their tiny size and beautiful colors can be admired. Like other Rasboras, they prefer soft, slightly acidic water and enjoy swimming in the mid to upper parts of the tank.
