- Boraras micros are a non-aggressive, peaceful species, making them ideal for community tanks with other small, non-predatory fish. - The species has distinct coloring consisting of a reddish hue on a translucent body, complemented by dark markings. - They are often kept in planted aquariums that mimic their native habitat, with plenty of hiding spots and low to moderate water flow. - Being shoaling fish, they are best kept in groups of at least 6-10 to keep stress levels low and display natural schooling behavior.
