Boraras urophthalmoides is a peaceful schooling fish ideal for community tanks. Due to its small size, it should be kept with similarly small and non-aggressive species. Their vibrant coloration and active swimming behavior make them popular among aquarists. The species prefers densely planted tanks with ample hiding spots and low water flow, mimicking its natural habitat. A dark substrate can help enhance their colors.
