Espei Rasbora Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Espei Rasbora in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (38 liters)
• Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other small, peaceful fish such as other rasboras, tetras, dwarf gouramis, corydoras, and small plecos. Avoid keeping with large or aggressive species that may prey on them.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas. Soft, acidic water is preferred, mimicking their natural blackwater habitats. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior and coloration. A dark substrate and subdued lighting can enhance their colors.
