Boraras merah, also known as the Phoenix Rasbora, is a small, vibrant species perfect for nano aquariums. It's known for its peaceful nature, making it ideal for community tanks with equally non-aggressive species. These fish exhibit schooling behavior, thus should be kept in groups. The tank setup should include plenty of plants and low lighting to simulate their natural habitat. A dark substrate will help accentuate their striking colors.
