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.
