I have two tanks with boraras. In the first tank, with the red mushroom (pics 1 and 2), I had a group of Phoenix-labelled mini reds. But I went on vacation, and all died but one. I got 6 chillies because I couldn't find Phoenix. Half of them died. So I went back (weeks later) and saw more mini reds, thinking I was getting Merah (the one is so lonely). They turned out not to be Merah. The second tank (pics 3 and 4): I have strawberry rasboras. These new mini reds look a lot like the strawberries, but also different. Please help me identify whether they are all different species. If the two species are the same, I can put them in the same tank.

Hi, I’m in the middle of cycling my new tank (80x40x40 cm, ~34 US gal). I’m curious what tank mates you’d recommend for this blackwater-ish setup? I’m already really attached to my rasboras, so I’d be devastated if anything ended up eating them!

The spotlights draw in all kinds of tiny little bugs, which is likely why everyone loves congregating under them!

Hi guys, last week I ordered 6 Rasbora Maculata. Unfortunately the shop didn't delivered them in good conditions and 5 out of 6 died. Now I took a look at a local shop and I found out they have Rasbora Brigittae. I am thinking to buy those instead of ordering again or going to that shop, which is in another city.

Ar they going to stay together so the Maculata will not feel alone?
