Keeping Galaxy Rasbora in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 10 gallons
  • Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other small, peaceful fish such as other micro-rasboras, small tetras, dwarf corydoras, and peaceful shrimp. Avoid housing with larger or aggressive fish that may prey on them or outcompete them for food.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and subdued lighting. A dark substrate can enhance their coloration. They are shoaling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. Good water quality is paramount, necessitating regular small water changes.
