Harlequin Rasbora

Rasbora heteromorpha
Harlequins prefer an environment with areas of dense vegetation, an open area for swimming, a dark substrate, and subdued lighting. Water temperature should be around 26'C. Water acidic, pH around 6.5
They are most comfortable in a shoal, and should be kept in groups of at least 5 or more. Harlequins make excellent community fish, and will not nip any other species. Do not keep them with aggressive fish or large fish.
They will readily accept flake, dried, frozen, and live foods. A varied diet will ensure that digestive problems, or susceptibility to disease does not occur.
They grow up to 4,5cm and can live up to 6 years.
