SEASONAL CHANGES CRITICAL?- Not sure don't think so
SENSITIVITIES- Nothing in particular
HARDINESS & LIFESPAN- Pretty hardy. Live about 7 years
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION- Big with a convex belly. Triangular shape on its tail. This can be used to sex the fish.
SEXES- Males are more slender than females and the shape of the triangle on tail is different.
ACTIVITY PEAK- diurnal
HABITS- Like to school. Docile fish. Sometimes chase each other around my tank. Mine have recently begun to spawn in my 29 Gal.
SPAWNING NOTES- Egglayer that lays eggs on leaves. Needs an acidic pH and very soft water. Hard to breed. Needs to be conditioned with live food. Eats its own eggs. The male will wrap its tail around the female. Best to use live plants such as cabomba and ambulia.
OTHER NOTES- Very nice fish I have six in my 29 gallon. They love to school and follow each other. A great beginner fish and good for communities. These fish are commonly in those nice planted tanks with the angels or discus.

Is this good be honest please. Does it look plagarized? Suggestions? Sorry I dont have a digital camera

Lara · 09-21-2005, 05:48 PM

Doesn't sound plagerised, is it plagerised? Just credit author if so, no big deal. Sounds good to me, I love those little guys

Fishboy93 · 09-21-2005, 05:58 PM

I didnt plagarize at all i just wanted everyone elses opinion. The only thing i looked for was the dGH

The idea here isn't to write just what you know, but to write everything you know and/or can find about the species. This profile is better than some I've seen, but still lacks a lot of info. Beef it up some!

Fishboy93 · 01-13-2006, 05:47 PM

BUMP

beefed it up a little and added pics........

**Cichlid Man** · 01-14-2006, 02:18 PM

Now that's some real beef. But still, can't you add a little personal experience? or interesting facts about them to be the ultimate rasbora profile?

Fishboy93 · 01-14-2006, 04:31 PM

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
