Tank compatibility
- Due to this tiny fish's size, they are best kept in groups of at least 6 of their own kind in a species tank or with other very small peaceful micro fish such as Ember Tetras and Pygmy Corys.
Diet
- Flake food is a good diet for the Mosquito Rasbora. They will also take tiny pieces of bloodworm and daphnia.
Feeding regime
- Feed once or twice a day.
Environment specifics

Identification
- A small and slender fish which is vivid red in colour, with a black band running down the lateral line, wider at the gill plates and slender towards the caudal fin. The fins also have red colour.
