-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 5-10 gallons for a small group of Chili Rasboras, as they are tiny fish that require minimal space.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C), a pH level of 4.0-6.5, and very soft to soft water.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to avoid disturbing these small fish. A sponge filter or a pre-filter on a low-flow filter is suitable.
-
Aquascape: Create a natural-looking setup with live plants, floating vegetation, and leaf litter to mimic their native habitat in peat swamps and blackwater streams.
-
Tank Mates: Chili Rasboras are peaceful and should be kept with other small, non-aggressive, and similarly sized species.
-
Diet: They are primarily micro predators, accepting small live or frozen foods like daphnia, cyclops, and micro worms. They may also consume high-quality, powdered fish food.
