The Scarlett Badis, also known as the Blue Badis, is a small and colorful freshwater fish renowned for its striking appearance, featuring vibrant shades of red, orange, and blue, particularly in males. These fish are peaceful and relatively shy, making them ideal for smaller community tanks, especially when kept with other non-aggressive species. The Scarlett Badis is an excellent choice for aquarists who enjoy observing unique fish behaviors, as they can often be found hiding among plants or decorations. Their small size and peaceful nature make them perfect for nano aquariums.
