Dwarf Rasbora (Rasbora Anã): Tiny Gem for Peaceful Nano Aquariums

Add a splash of vibrant red and fascinating schooling behavior to your aquarium with the charming Dwarf Rasbora. These miniature fish are perfect for planted nano tanks and serene community setups.

Overview

The Dwarf Rasbora, or Rasbora Anã, (*Boraras maculatus*) is a captivating species known for its brilliant reddish-orange body adorned with distinctive black spots. Typically reaching just 2 to 2.5 cm, their small size and peaceful nature make them an ideal choice for aquarists seeking a truly miniature inhabitant. They are active, yet gentle, constantly exploring the middle and upper levels of your aquascape, forming loose, mesmerizing schools.

Care Level

Considered easy to moderate, Dwarf Rasboras are hardy but thrive best in stable, well-maintained environments. They are incredibly peaceful and shy, making them excellent companions for other small, non-aggressive species like Pygmy Corydoras or Ember Tetras. Always keep them in groups of at least 8-10 to encourage their natural schooling behavior and reduce stress.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 40 litres is recommended for a school of Dwarf Rasboras, though larger tanks are always beneficial for stability. Mimic their natural blackwater habitats with dense planting, subdued lighting, and a dark substrate to enhance their vibrant colours. Maintain water temperatures between 22-28°C and a soft, slightly acidic pH range of 5.0-7.0.

Diet

As micro-predators, Dwarf Rasboras readily accept high-quality micro-pellets and finely crushed flakes. Supplement their diet with small live or frozen foods like baby brine shrimp, daphnia, or microworms to ensure optimal health and coloration.
