Chili Rasbora

The Chili Rasbora, also known as the Mosquito Rasbora, is an absolute favorite here at Flip Aquatics. These fish reach a max size of about 1 inch and their peaceful temperament makes them a perfect addition to any shrimp tank.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

In the right conditions, these fish have the most amazing coloration out of any nano fish. In groups of 10 or more they tend to show better color due to lack of stress. For this reason, we always recommend keeping them in larger groups. 

The scientific name for Chili Rasboras is Boraras brigittae.

We feed our Chili Rasboras a mix of baby brine and Northfin Fry food. We also supplement their diet with a mix of Northfin Veggie and Community.
