Details

Origin:
Sexing:	:Females have broader body shape and the tail is rounded. Males are long and have a more slender body shape.
Tank compatibility:	:Due to this tiny fish's size, they are best kept in groups of at least 6 of their own kind in a species tank or with other very small peaceful micro fish such as [[Ember Tetra]]s and [[Pygmy Cory]]s.
Diet:	:Flake food is a good diet for the Mosquito Rasbora. They will also take tiny pieces of [[bloodworm]] and [[daphnia]].
Feeding regime:	:Feed once or twice a day.
Environment specifics:	:They need a spacious tank with hiding spaces and an open swimming space. Dense planting is a must for them to hide in if and when they are startled and at night.
Behaviour:	:They are sometimes shy and will hide among plants. They will often shoal very tightly and stay together.
Identification:	:A small and slender fish which is vivid red in colour, with a black band running down the lateral line, wider at the gill plates and slender towards the caudal fin. The fins also have red colour.
