Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
Spotted Rasboras (Boraras maculatus) are tiny schooling fish with copper-red coloration and distinct dark body spots. Their small adult size makes them especially effective in planted nano displays.
They do best in a mature, stable aquarium with gentle flow, dense plant cover, and a proper social group.
Care Notes
Keep the aquarium mature, stable, and gently filtered. Dense planting and dark substrate help them feel secure and show stronger color.
Feed very small foods in small portions and keep at least 10 for a more confident display.

Distinct Spotted Pattern
Dark body spots over warm copper-red color give this Boraras species a subtle, natural look.

Excellent for Mature Nano Tanks
Their small size suits densely planted aquariums with calm flow.
03
Generally Adult-Shrimp Compatible
Adult shrimp are usually ignored, though very small shrimplets may still be at risk.

Compatible Tank Mates
These nano fish coexist well with shrimp and other peaceful invertebrates.
