✅ Level: Easy — a colorful, small schooling fish for the nano community aquarium.

The Galaxy Rasbora (Danio Margaritatus) is a true spectacle of colors with a blue body full of white speckles (pearls) and fiery red fins. This small fish prefers to be kept in a school, and its tank mates should not be too large — otherwise, the Galaxy Rasbora may be perceived as prey and will retreat, leading to insufficient food intake.

✂️ Care

Keep in a school of at least 6 individuals in a well-planted aquarium with sufficient open swimming space. Although the Galaxy Rasbora is a peaceful fish, they can have significant squabbles among themselves — the larger the group, the better the aggression is distributed, so that the same fish doesn't always take all the hits. They eat dry food but also appreciate small live food.

🐠 Combination tip

Only combine with other small, peaceful species. Larger fish may perceive the Galaxy Rasbora as prey, causing it to retreat and not get enough food.
