Keeping Scarlet Badis in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 5 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-only tank or with other very small, peaceful, and non-competitive species. Avoid larger or boisterous tank mates.
