Care Guide
Tank setup: Roselines are active schoolers that like cool, clean, well-oxygenated water with some current. Give them open swimming space, plants along the back and a tight lid.
Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet with some vegetable content once or twice a day. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Roselines get along with most active, peaceful fish of similar size, such as other barbs, danios, rainbowfish, larger tetras, loaches and gouramis. Avoid slow, long-finned fish.
Good to know: Roselines are endangered in the wild in India; most in the trade today are captive-bred.
