Red Dwarf Rasbora

Red Dwarf Rasbora

The Red Dwarf Rasbora (Microrasbora rubescens), also known as the Burmese Red Dwarf Rasbora, or cardinal rasbora, is a small, peaceful freshwater schooling fish known for its warm reddish-orange coloration and slender body. Native to Myanmar, these micro fish are an excellent choice for nano tanks, planted aquariums, and peaceful community setups.

A well-planted aquarium with gentle filtration and plenty of cover provides an ideal environment. Feed a varied diet of crushed flake, micro pellets, baby brine shrimp, and other appropriately sized frozen or live foods.

PLEASE NOTE: These are very small fish and may arrive with subdued coloration from shipping stress. Their red coloration should become more noticeable as they settle into a stable aquarium.
