Description

An ideal species for the upper levels of the community aquarium. Scissortail Rasboras are a shoaling species, and as such, should be maintained in groups of 6 or more fish in order for them to feel secure. The tank should incorporate some well planted areas at the sides and back, leaving a good open swimming area in the centre for these active fish. An aquarium measuring 36" long is ideal for smaller specimens, with a tank of 48" required for adults. Peaceful towards other species of fish. Ensure that the aquarium has tightly fitting coverslides, as these fish are accomplished jumpers.
