Such an amazing fish, colors are more apparent with plants in the background. This is something I will look into keeping once I established a planted tank.
They are gorgeous Diva. Can't take my eyes off them. I want to bring it up to 100 before I properly feature it. I'm going to be live 9am (UK time) Tuesday next week on Aqua Mate's channel though. He invited me to do an episode of his Aqua Mate Experience series and the tank will be in the background if you want a sneak peek. 😉
Very nice. I am going looking for fish next week as the problem with heavily planted tanks is fish like to hide. I will have a look at these little ones when I visit Sweet Knowle Aquatics. It's the best place in the Midlands.
I know what you mean. I have a group of Emerald Green Rasbora. Amazing looking fish but incredibly shy. They only come out of their planty hide when they are being fed at this stage. These Pheonix Rasbora seem quite comfortable out in the open at least without any fish they perceive as a threat present. Hope you find something you like, sounds like a great store.
I haven't but I haven't tried at this point. My pH is a little too high and I have a nice group just now but I might have a go later. Thanks for the comment Cassie. They really are wee beauties as you say.
Dear Daniel: I’ve considered keeping pygmy or dwarf rasboras (Boraras maculatus) or a similar species in my, 10-gallon, Fluval Stratum tank. This substrate does lower the pH, somewhat. However, I don’t believe this will keep it low enough, long-term. I also like to keep the filtration high, which they wouldn’t appreciate. These species are very interesting, micro-fish. Thank you for giving us a terrific, species profile of the phoenix rasbora (Boraras merah). All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Thanks very much E. J. Yes the Maculata are very nice too. All the Rasbora are to be honest, definately one of my favorite fish. They can adjust to slightly higher pH but higher flow rates will tire them and blow them about being tiny wee things. Certainly a fish worth considering though.
Dear Daniel: Yes, I've seen that Pecktec keeps them successfully and he lives in the state next to mine. His channel is here: ua-cam.com/channels/Z7k8u2sRf7HS1xXQyuLJVg.html Pecktec's water is likely similar to mine. I may try some of these species some time. Thank you. Sincerely, Brinegar
Kubotai? I've still got a few of those myself. Seriously cool little fish. I love these too as you can tell. A real sweet fish to watch if you can find some for sure.
@@DanielKeepingFish Them's the fellas. They were a bit pricey so I was scared they would be fragile - but no. I've had them a while now without any problems and they're still happily bobbing about! Love them to bits. I like the look of the blue variant and chilli rasboras also... Thanks for introducing me to the phoenix rasboras. Just when you think you've seen it all....
I wouldn't want to say 100%, sometimes you get a particularly agressing fish but I kept Chilli Rasbora with Pea Puffers and it was fine. Chillis are almost identical to Phenonix Rasbora so I would say it should be fine.
I was about to say I wouldn't do it since they can be a wee bit aggressive but if you're keeping them with shrimp without any problems it might be fine. Maybe give it a go. Keep a good eye on them and have a backup plan if the Tetra get a bit boisterous.
pure gold this species profile daniel! it gives me a wonderful viewing experience and a learning experience at the same time.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much sir. I really enjoyed making this one.
Excellent nano fish!
Aren't they though? Such cute little guys and interacting to watch too.
They look awesome in your setup
Such an amazing fish, colors are more apparent with plants in the background. This is something I will look into keeping once I established a planted tank.

Thanks very much fellas.
Yeah they're both nice fish. They go together like Jack and Dan. 😉💪👍
Brilliant little fellas... I’ve tons of chili’s myself but yup. Cute as all get out
Yeah Chilli's are lovely too. I just like these a wee bit extra for the individual patterns they display.
Awesome looking fish mate. Never heard of them
Thanks man. They really are a nice fish in my estimation.

great video loving these little fish think i will have to look for some i do have a spare empty 2 ft tank
No point in an empty tank. 😉
I'm sure you'll love them.
Thanks for the video dan. Always a pleasure to watch . 👍✌
Thank you very much Alex. Super kind of you to say.
@@DanielKeepingFish 👍✌
Wow ! Those are so beautiful !😍😍 Also the informations are excellent Brother !👍👍
Thanks very much homes.
Yeah they're a pretty sweet fish right enough.
Have you had these guys breed? Great roundup of these little beauties!
I haven't but I haven't tried at this point. My pH is a little too high and I have a nice group just now but I might have a go later.
Thanks for the comment Cassie. They really are wee beauties as you say.
they're great tankmates with shrimp and ember tetras probably the best combos
Yeah that'll definitely make a nice mix. 👍
@@DanielKeepingFishis there a major difference between Phoenix rasboras and rasbora maculata
@@alexsss79 for sure. 👍
I'll look for these!
They're lovely Bernice. Hard not to be taken with them.

I really like these micro fish and would love to keep them someday 💜💛
Hope you get the chance to try them at some point mate. You'll fall in love with them. 💙👊
I've got the diddy green rasboras with the latin name beginning with k - I love them - now tempted to also add some of these if I can find some
Kubotai? I've still got a few of those myself. Seriously cool little fish.

Dangerous Daniel 💪
Do you think a group of these could be paired with a pea puffer? Thanks!
I wouldn't want to say 100%, sometimes you get a particularly agressing fish but I kept Chilli Rasbora with Pea Puffers and it was fine. Chillis are almost identical to Phenonix Rasbora so I would say it should be fine.
Should I add them with silvertip tetras? It’s a densely planted 30g tank with neocardinia.
I was about to say I wouldn't do it since they can be a wee bit aggressive but if you're keeping them with shrimp without any problems it might be fine. Maybe give it a go. Keep a good eye on them and have a backup plan if the Tetra get a bit boisterous.
Boraras Merah
