Rasbora dorsinotata
Blackline Rasbora
Rasbora dorsinotata are peaceful and schooling fish. They thrive in aquariums that mimic their natural habitat: soft, slightly acidic water with plenty of live plants and open swimming spaces.
- **Behavior and Tankmates:** Generally peaceful, they do well in community tanks with similarly sized non-aggressive fish. They display beautiful schooling behavior when kept in groups of 6 or more.
- **Diet:** Omnivorous by nature, they thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality flake foods, live or frozen foods like daphnia, bloodworms, and brine shrimp.
- **Breeding:** Egg-scatterers, these fish can be bred in captivity but require a separate breeding tank and specific conditions. Females scatter eggs among vegetation, and no parental care is provided.
- **Other Tips:** Use subdued lighting and a dark substrate to enhance their colors.
Enthusiasts appreciate them for their ease of care and striking black stripe contrasted with their metallic body shimmer.
