Aquarium fishes introduced: Boraras brigittae


My favorite fish for fishkeeping is the Mosquito Rasbora. This is a gorgeous little fish. You can see them in my fish tank in the video above, swimming near the water surface, seeking for food and enjoying the flow of water near my self-build filter and pump. The Moskito Rasbora is also called Boraras brigittae (scientific name). This is a pretty tiny fish (1-3 cm depending on their age) and great for smaller fish tanks.

My little forgotten Mosquito Rasbora and Schrimps Tank


More information’s about the Mosquito Rasbo Fish here. I had 8 Fishes called Mosquito Rasbora (Boraras brigittae) swimming in one of my forgotten fish tanks and I decided that it would be better to buy some more because I want to clean and redesign the tank soon. I think they really love to swim in a swarm. That´s why I bought 8 more of them yesterday. Therefore I can count 16 Mosquito Rasbora in my little 54 Liter tank now. The fish tank is not maintained much. I just used osmose water and the GH/KH is round about 3 and … Continue reading My little forgotten Mosquito Rasbora and Schrimps Tank
