    Went to the pet store today to look at some ember tetras, I saw this tiny little discoloured fish at the top of the tank and he was much smaller then any of the tetras. After a couple of minutes I recognized the fish and it was a small chilli rasbora and they said they sold out of them about a week ago and never saw him. I’m hoping to eventually get him some friends but for now he seems much happier and is eating a lot ❤️

    So if I may ask how many chili rasboras would you keep in a 5 gallon aquarium which is a vertical Marine land portrait aquarium which I believe to be about 8” x 8” x 16” tall Fully planted. Right now I only have five. I also have one Cooley loach and a hill stream loach. This was a take I kept a betta fish in But he died four months ago.

  • @JefeDog
    @JefeDog 4 года назад +2

    I've just started keeping Chili Rasboras, and my biggest challenge is getting them to live past a few days. My first batch from a LFS 8 out of 10 of them survived, and are still thriving (though not as vibrantly colored as yours). The next LFS that had them I picked them up, and out of 10, only one survived. I couldn't find anymore locally, so I bought some online. This time about half of them survived. Then finally, I bought from another online retailer and 6 out of 9 survived.
    I am an experienced fish keeper, but I struggle with these guys during the first week. Beyond that, they're great! My water is a bit hard out of the well, so I mix it 50% with RO water. That gives me a PH between 7.5 and 7.8, GH of 5, and a KH of 3. This has been great for my Orange Rili and Cherry Red shrimp. Is that PH too high and likely what is killing them? I don't really like to buffer the water parameters, but perhaps on the next batch I get I'll use peat and indian almond leaves to drop the PH lower and see if they survive longer. Then perhaps with small water changes they'll more gradually adapt to the higher PH in my water.
    I was told to drip acclimate these guys, and that hasn't seemed to affect my varying success. Another fish keeper told me that as soon as you open the bag, oxygen rushes in and activates any ammonia in the water, shocking the fish, and thus he recommends floating the unopened bag, then immediately netting and dumping them in once the bag is opened. Perhaps I'll try that next time, especially if using as lower PH water that will likely be less for them to adapt to.

    • @KrishsAquariums
      @KrishsAquariums  4 года назад +1

      I struggled to find a good lfs that sold these rasboras, most of the time the main cause of death in my experience has been internal parasites. I think your pH is also a little bit too high for these delicate fish, so that might be a problem too. I have heard about that issue with the ammonia in the bag but never experience it, i also find drip acclimation is the best method as it gets the fish used to the new water conditions they will be living in.

      @JefeDog 4 года назад +2

      @@KrishsAquariums thanks for the reply! I was lucky enough to find some at a LFS, and he had them for a few weeks. He also has a high PH like mine. He too recommended temperature acclimating and then putting them right in after opening the bag, so that's what I did. So far so good, 24 hours later. I'll report back if that changes.

    Hi, great video of Information. I just brought 30 of these little guys as im moving towards a nano style tank (180L) and the biggest issue I have right now is that they all seem to group together top corner of tank and don't go elsewhere.
    I've also added the spotted dwarf rasbora and the emerald dwarf rasbora as other nano fish.
    I have panda and Venezuela Corydoras as my bottom dwellers along with some marble hatchet fish.
    Did you notice this behavior with yours? I was hoping they would use the whole tank. It has live plants (java fern varieties) and spider driftwood.

    I was wondering, i’m relatively new to this hobby and therefore lack knowledge, i’ve heard of many rules of thumb as to how many fish to keep in a tank. I wanted to ask just for some reassurance. I wanted to keep 6 chilli rasbora, some sort of nano bottom feeder which i can add maybe 3 of, and another schooling fish which is around the same size of the chilli rasbora that I could add maybe 5-6 of. I have a 10 gallon, non planted tank with barely any decor. It is 80 F, can filter 90 gallons an hour. The substrate is just black sand from topfin. I have tropical fish food but am willing to feed other things. Any recommendations?

      I’m a tank that size you could probably get 10 nicely, they will be more comfortable. I would be careful if you are new to the hobby, chili Rasboras can be a little bit delicate so acclimate them carefully.

      I think the honey gourami might eat them, they get a little bit too big for chili rasboras in my opinion. A pH of 8 would be too high for these delicate fish :(

      Loved you video. Just starting up 5 gal Fluval horizontal tank. Don’t plan on adding fish for 3-4 weeks so am researching what to put in. I think I’ll add more surface plants. I mixed a bags of natural color & black gravel. Should I go darker for these CR fish? Would a Pygmy cat and maybe ONE snail be ok to put in with how many chili’s?? Or would a shrimp or two be better choice ?
      Thanks, I’m being super cautious and testing the water even before fish!!!

    Nice video mate , You say 3 pounds is the high end price for chilli rasbora where you at. You also said you have 30 of them in your tank. If i do the maths.. 3 pounds each × 30 chilli= 90 quid. Well tben you're lucky you don't live in Australia like me. The chill rasbora is rare over here. If you do find them in store, they are $30 Aud each. So if i bought 30chilli × $30Aud = $900 Aud. Cpd are even more expensive at $35 Aud each.

    • @KrishsAquariums
      @KrishsAquariums  2 года назад

      Thank you! Wow that’s insane, I’d imagine chili Rasboras are wild caught from countries close to Australia, so that surprises me when you are saying it’s $30 AUD! It’s such a shame those fish cost so much for you!
