Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a planted tank with floating plants, gentle filtration and a lid. Daisy's ricefish are tropical, so keep the water heated to 75–82°F.
Feeding: Feed crushed flake or micro pellets once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Daisy's ricefish are a great fit for peaceful community tanks with small rasboras, tetras, pygmy corydoras and shrimp. Avoid large or aggressive fish.
Good to know: Daisy's ricefish come from Sulawesi, Indonesia, and were first described in 2010. Males show the brightest blue and red on their fins.
