Emerald Dwarf Rasbora
Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are a close relative of Celestial Pearl Danios. These shy fish prefer to stay near the bottom of the tank, seeking shelter among plants and driftwood. A dimly lit environment with plenty of decorations helps them feel safe and secure.
Living Conditions
Keep them in a community tank with similarly sized fish such as tetras, rasboras, barbs, livebearers, and small Rainbowfish. They reproduce frequently when provided with moss for fry to hide in.

The Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are very active and colorful. I kept them with neon tetras and they get along well. The tank needs some plants and a dim light, but once set up, they’re peaceful and add a lot of charm to the tank.

They’re shy at first but settle into the tank after a week. I added moss and driftwood, and now the fry hide well. They’re easy to care for and don’t stress other fish.

Great addition to a small community tank. They stay near the bottom and don’t chase other fish. I’ve seen them spawn twice already with the moss I added.
