General Description: The Redline Rasbora, also known as the Glowlight Rasbora, is a desirable fish among beginner and seasoned hobbyists alike. Not only are these rasboras beautiful with their vibrant orange-gold stripe, but relatively easy to care for. This species has an enormous natural range in blackwater streams and rivers of Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand and Cambodia.

Diet Requirements: Redline rasbora are omnivores. A diet made up of various high quality vegetable based and protein based flake foods, sinking micro pellet foods and bug bites are ideal, in addition to offering frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp and daphnia. Variety is the spice of life in order to maintain color, immune function and longevity of your fish.

Care Requirements: A minimum 15 gallon aquarium is ideal for a group of Redline rasbora. Size up accordingly to accomodate a larger school. This species is a bit more sensitive than other rasboras, so we suggest only adding Redline rasboras into a biologically established aquarium. The aquarium should be aquascaped a darker finer substrate, driftwood, and other natural-looking arrangements to bring out the beauty of this rasbora. Redline rasbora would benefit from some floating plants to dim the lighting if it is intense, and incorporating live plants into the aquascape, such as Anubias or Cryptocoryne, would still thrive under such conditions. Redline rasbora are extremely peaceful and rarely conflict with tank mates. They are a great filler fish for the upper areas of the aquarium, with a lot of energy and movement. Given that Redline rasbora are always out and about, they serve as a good “dither” fish for more shy fish species. Recommended water conditions, 74-82° F, KH 2-12, pH 4.0-7.5.
