Harlequin Rasbora is a popular and peaceful freshwater fish that's relatively easy to keep. Here are some tips on how to keep them:
Tank Setup: Prefers a well-planted aquarium with plenty of swimming space. A minimum tank size of 10-15 gallons is recommended, but a larger tank will provide more swimming space and stability. The ideal temperature range is between 72-80°F, and the pH should be between 6.0-7.5.
Water Quality: Sensitive to poor water quality, so it's crucial to maintain excellent water conditions. A filtration system that's capable of processing the tank's water volume at least four times an hour is recommended. Weekly water changes of 25% to 50% will help to maintain stable water parameters.
Diet: Is an omnivore and will eat a variety of foods. Provide a varied diet of high-quality flakes or pellets, as well as frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Feeding a varied diet will ensure that they receive all the necessary nutrients.
Tank Mates: Harlequin Rasbora is peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish, such as other rasboras, tetras, gouramis, and corydoras. Avoid keeping them with large or aggressive fish that may bully or eat them.
Behaviour: Harlequin Rasbora is a schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals. A larger group of ten or more will create a more natural environment and help to reduce stress. They are active swimmers and will appreciate plenty of open swimming space.
In summary, Harlequin Rasbora is an excellent choice for beginner aquarists who want to keep peaceful and colourful fish. By providing the right tank setup, maintaining excellent water quality, feeding a varied diet, selecting suitable tank mates, and keeping them in a group, you can ensure that your Harlequin Rasbora thrive and live a long, healthy life in your tank.
