Rasbora Maculata fish is generally seen in a group in nature, where it lives in the shallow and calm waters of rivers and streams. It feeds mainly on small crustaceans and insect larvae which he finds by searching the bottom of the water.

Rasbora Maculata fish is a peaceful and easy -to -keep fish in aquarium, but it needs enough space to swim and a well -maintained environment to feel comfortable. It is generally compatible with other species of peaceful fish, but it is important to make sure that the aquarium is large enough to accommodate all fish safely.

Due to its small size and calm personality, the Maculata Rasbora fish is often chosen as a pet for beginners in aquarophilia. It is an excellent choice for aquariophiles who seek to add color and life to their aquarium without taking up too much space.

We have to lower the pH around 6, the ground must be covered with large gravel or balls because the parents drop the eggs on the ground. If the parents are not withdrawn, they will eat them quickly, because, there are very few eggs (around forty), the coarse ground allows part of the eggs to be out of reach of the parents.

We can put a java foam near the Ponte place, so that the fry hide in, and if you want to let nature do it, they will naturally find their diet, but only a small part of the laying will survive. Otherwise, if you want at all costs to have as many fish as possible, then we can feed with infusories and artemia naupiles, but this food technique which allows you to save a maximum, is also double -edged: too D 'Infusories and naupiles will pollute the water and kill all the fry. The growth is quite slow.
