-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 10-15 gallons for a small group of Espei Rasboras, allowing them space to swim and shoal comfortably.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.0, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Espei Rasboras appreciate well-oxygenated water.
-
Aquascape: Create a tank with densely planted areas, open swimming spaces, and subdued lighting. Use floating plants to mimic their natural habitat.
-
Tank Mates: They are peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive community fish that share similar water parameters. They do best in schools of at least six individuals.
-
Diet: Espei Rasboras are omnivores, accepting high-quality flakes, pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and micro worms.
