Redline Rasbora: A Dazzling Flash of Color for Your Aquarium

Add a vibrant, active school of Redline Rasboras to your community tank. Their striking stripe and peaceful nature make them a captivating choice for aquarists.

Overview

The Redline Rasbora, also known as the Glowlight Rasbora, features an eye-catching, iridescent orange-red stripe running horizontally along its slender, silvery body. These small, active fish dart gracefully through the middle and upper levels of your aquarium. They are a schooling species by nature, displaying their best colors and most natural behaviors when kept in a group of at least eight to ten individuals, creating a truly dynamic display.

Care Level

Considered a beginner to intermediate species, Redline Rasboras are peaceful and compatible with other similarly sized, non-aggressive community fish. They thrive in a stable, well-established aquarium, being somewhat sensitive to unstable water conditions. Avoid overly boisterous tankmates that might outcompete them for food or stress them.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 60-litre aquarium is suitable for a small school, but a larger tank of 80 litres or more is highly recommended for optimal schooling behavior and comfort. They prefer soft, acidic water (pH 5.0-7.5, temperature 22-26°C) and benefit from a dark substrate, dense planting, and subdued lighting, perhaps with floating plants.

Diet

Redline Rasboras are omnivores and micropredators. Offer a varied diet of high-quality flake foods, micro pellets, and regular servings of small live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms to maintain their vibrant coloration and health.
