Scissortail Rasbora
The Scissortail Rasbora will make an awesome schooling fish. Their unique pattern is bound to impress. This little guy will thrive in aquariums with plants and drift wood, which will help stimulate their natural habitat. They prefer very clean water and lower pH to thrive and will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium with soft substrate. The Scissortail has very small mouths and will need pellet and flake foods small enough. They are a smaller, non-boisterous fish, so they should be paired with other peaceful fish that make them feel safe and do not compete for food. They can be kept with larger cichlids with small mouths; such as discus. Consider a group of seven of these fish to be an absolute minimum as far as stocking goes.
