Re: Have anyone spotted Chili Rasbora
According to many sources online, boraras brigittae are schooling fish and only the dominant male will display a deep red colouration. All others in the school will not have the same colouration. Meaning, even if you picked the reddest of each lot and placed them together, their colours will fade as their hierarchy is determined (it also probably means you have all males).
There was mention that their colouration will improve with proper tank setup. Meaning peat swamp biotopes, 25 degree water and low flowrates with no other tankmates (species only) since they'll lose out in feeding. Also, live food in the form of artemia and micro/grindal worms would be preferred.
