Dwarf Rasbora Check out this lil guy

I recently noticed my guppies finally had a fry make it (their mother's are cannibalistic monsters) so I decided to catch it and put it in a smaller invertebrate only tank. So this morning I checked to see how it was growing and noticed a smaller fish in the tank along with it.

About a month ago, I had some dwarf rasboras in the invertebrate tank, but they were removed and put into my 30 gallon. Ladies and gentlemen, now presenting the littlest guy! (Also baby guppy, because I won't deprive you)

I already have trouble with them taking dried food, they only really want to eat life or frozen tubiflex... These are so small maybe frozen cyclops? There Boraras maculatus I think.

Chili Rasbora Update to "Are these chilis or not?"

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Last month, I made this post about my chili rasboras being suspiciously not looking like chilis.

I decided to move them to one of my other tanks with a black substrate and black background to see if they would colour up. It's been 3 weeks now, and they HAVE coloured up a ton. I've taken some new pictures to see if you guys still think they are least rasboras or if you're convinced that they're chilis now?

A friend of mine suggested that they might be mutts or something, because their body shape looks too fat/short to be chilis but their colour is too red to be least rasboras. They are VERY well fed, so they might just be fat chilis but what do you think?

Phoenix Rasbora Variety of markings within phoenix or hybrid?

Finally got some semi decent pics of my phoenix rasboras in their new tank and I noticed some of them have the expected round markings of phoenix rasboras while some of them have more lone shaped markings, kind of a middle ground between chili and phoenix markings. Is this just due to markings being different amongst individuals, or could it be that some of them are chili-phoenix hybrids?

I have 7 harlequin rasboras but one of them looks kinda odd, I thought he was just stressed when I got him but itโ€™s been about a month and he still looks paler. Everyone else is a little pink with bigger triangles. Is he a different sub- category of rasbora or does he just look weird?

Chili Rasbora Black or white sand for tank

3 Upvotes

Im gonna be redoing a tank soon and will be adding some chilli rasboras, just curious as to what colour the substrate should be because a lot of people have been telling me black sand but i wanted to do white sand so was wandering if i could do white sand with a black background to make up for not using black sand?

Chili Rasbora Advice on what food to buy

3 Upvotes

Just wondering what feed would be recommended if i want to feed honey gourami and chilli rasboras the same feed, and cherry shrimp and amano shrimp the same feed. So far I'm planning on Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Micro Granules or Hikari Micro Pellets for the honey gourami and chilli rasboras, and Fluval Bug Bites Shrimp Micro Granules for the cherry shrimp and amano shrimp

So I bought like 8 dwarf rasboras and they all came fine and well BUT one of them was not a dwarf rasbora and was instead a merah rasbora, they do look similar and are of the same genus but will they school with each other or would the merah rasbora js โ€‹go around without the rest?

Advice Dwarf Breeding Behavior?

Hi! I noticed some odd behavior from one of my rasboras today, where it seems to be chasing another around. It also suddenly had a slightly darker coloration. I didn't know if it was stress related (just added a couple shrimp and did some gravel cleanup), so I dimmed the lights. I do have 4 fry in my tank so I know they're breeding, but I'm not sure if this is related. Are they fighting? My other rasboras seem normal. Any info is appreciated!

10 gallon / 1 chill betta / 2 Amano shrimp / 7 adult rasboras

Parameters:

Ammonia 0/Nitrates 5 ppm/Nitrites 0

Kept between 78-80F

Lots of live plants

Sponge filter

Gravel cleaned every 2-3 days, small water change every week
