Boraras brigittae, commonly referred to as the Chili Rasbora, is a popular species in the aquarium trade due to its vibrant coloration despite its small size. These fish prefer heavily planted tanks with plenty of swimming space and subdued lighting to mimic their natural habitat. Schooling fish by nature, they should be kept in groups to ensure they exhibit natural behavior.
