The Asian Rummynose is great for planted tanks and are considered a "nano tank fish" though we recommend keeping them in a 10g+.
They can tolerate cooler water and a tank that is heavily planted. Males will become more vividly colored.
They color up in a larger school (6 or more fish) and do well in a nicely aquascaped tank with plenty of plants.
Also known as a Asian Rummynose Tetra though not a Tetra nor is it a true Rasbora as they are more closely related to Barbs.
