Adorned with mesmerizing blue-green spangled bodies, the males of this species feature striking reddish areas on their lower bodies. Hailing from the enchanting Greater Sunda Islands of Borneo and Sumatra, these rasboras are best enjoyed in groups of at least six individuals.
Prepare to be enthralled by the peaceful nature and stunning appearance of the Blue Axelrodi Rasbora. With its flashy colors and playful personality, this tropical freshwater fish is a delightful addition to any aquarium. They thrive in the company of fellow peaceful tankmates and truly come alive when housed in groups of ten or more. With proper care and attention, these active swimmers can grace your tank for up to four years, bringing joy and vitality to their watery domain.
While the Blue Axelrodi Rasbora offers a rewarding aquaristic experience, it's worth noting that they require pristine water conditions and may find it challenging to acclimate to new environments. It's best to introduce them to a well-established tank that provides ample swimming space. Therefore, they are better suited for experienced aquarists who can meet their specific needs.
Creating the ideal conditions for the Blue Axelrodi Rasbora is crucial to their well-being. Originating from warm, acidic swamps and shallow creeks, these rasboras thrive in slightly warmer and softer water. To ensure their contentment, create a dimly lit environment with moderate water movement in a densely planted aquarium. Providing free swimming space by keeping the central tank area free from excessive decoration is essential to mimic their natural habitat.
Feeding the Blue Axelrodi Rasbora requires attention to their natural omnivorous tendencies. While they enjoy small live foods such as baby brine, Daphnia, Blackworms, Bloodworms, and scuds, they may initially be reluctant to accept dried food. Over time, they can learn to accept it. To provide a balanced and nutritious diet, we recommend supplementing their meals with a mix of Northfin Veggie, Community, and Bug Pro, ensuring their nutritional needs are met.

Our Tank Parameters
All fish arrived alive and seem to be thriving after 2 days.
Although I don't know why there is a special instruction box on the order form.
Fish were extremely well packed and came through in terrific shape. After acclimatization settled in quickly with their new tank mates and added a new focal point with their stunning blue bodies always on the move together in a school. They are not like any other fish in the tank, extremely curious as they explore every corner and niche in the aquarium, are constantly on the move and readily accept flake, frozen and live foods as long as it's small enough for their little mouths. . Really doing well from the git go.
As always, fantastic customer service, amazing looking fish, and shrimp. All arrived healthy.
I have been waiting to get my hands on these forever. They are so worth the wait. I ordered 6 and got 7. All are healthy and active. I was a bit worried since I've heard they can be tough to feed. I have had no problems. They take crushed flake and microworms and whatever they may find in my 20 long well established, highly planted shrimp tank. They school together and their color is really cool. They don't bother the shrimp. When I first added them they were curious about the shrimp. I saw one chase a baby, but then it left it alone which was a huge relief. I don't want to lose shrimp!
I ordered 8 blue Axlrodi rasboras, and received 9 healthy fish! I have had them for 2 weeks now, everyone is happy and healthy. They school a lot more tightly than chili rasboras and it is fun to watch them dart around. They also eat crushed flake food immediately, as well as micro pellets. They acclimated very fast to my tank as well (pH is around 6.5-6.8). And are very active in the open swimming spaces in my tank. The bright blue is harder to spot against my black backgrounds, but I am very happy with them! They are just what my tank needed!
