  • Today in this video I go through how to breed and care for Emerald Rasboras.
    Actually a danio, Emerald Rasboras were originally thought to be in the Rasbora Family.
    Emerald Rasboras make great additions to nano tanks, planted tanks and peaceful community tanks.

    I have them in my planted community tank with pygmy cories and ember tetras. They’re very shy so I usually only see sparring males. Lately though I’ve seen babies swimming around so I’m excited that they are having babies!

      I have mine with albino corydoras and ember tetras, in a heavily planted tank as well. mine do hide a good deal and seem to grow really really slow. of course I know they are micro fish but ive had them 4 months now and they barely look bigger then I bought them and have not colored up very much at all. im not sure why if thats abnormal in growth rate.

    I like emerald rasboras. One thing to note is that they will interbreed with cpd's -celestial pearl danios. I keep most of my fish in species only tanks so I can't speak from personal experience but I've heard it many times from people in my fish clubs. These little nano fish are really a joy to own.

      Are their any long term effects if they breed? I have 3 male cpd and 5 juvenile emerald tiger rasbora. Wanted more cpd but my shop cant get them anymore so got them to help keep the males from fighting.

    This is a very cool species although shy if kept in groups of less than 4 (in my experience) also they tend to feel safer with denser planting. Oh just fyi Myanmar is pronounced _mee-an-mar_ :)

    • @BlakesAquatics

      Actually it is pronounce My - an - mar.

    Hey Blake, I’ve bought 3 emerald rasboras.. one bigger and more colourful and the others paler and smaller, for a 20l tank. The bigger one seems to be chasing at the others once and awhile.. is this a normal behaviour or should I worry about it?

I've had 7 of them for about a month now and I swear until like a day or two ago I wasn't sure if they were all even still around as I never saw them except for one here or there flitting about. They still hide more often than not for me, though, and I don't really have room to put anything else in that part of the water column.
