Dwarf Emerald Rasboras (Celestichthys Erythromicron)

Microrasbora erythromicron, also known as the dwarf emerald rasbora, is a nano fish species selectively bred for a striking sunkist-orange color. These small fish are appreciated by fish AND shrimp keepers for their peaceful nature. They are the perfect addition to a shrimp-/invertebrate setup or even a community tank with plants and other fish.

Dwarf emerald rasboras are omnivorous scavengers.  They will readily accept most flake foods and algae wafers, as well as freeze-dried daphnia, bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp.

Dwarf emerald rasboras are a favorite in the hobby because of their incredibly peaceful temperament and therefore their ability to be kept with other species of fish and shrimp.  They are very shy in small groups, so we recommend keeping them in groups of 10 or more so that they can be more active and playful.

An omnivorous diet is key to helping keep your dwarf emerald rasboras happy and healthy.  In addition, you will need to keep your tank water stable and of high quality. Find out more about Dwarf Emerald Rasboras  in The Shrimp Farm University.

Dwarf emerald rasboras are an excellent addition to any planted tank, community tank, or shrimp tank due to their peaceful nature.  We recommend keeping them with plants, rock, or driftwood that provide them with cover in order for them to really thrive.
