The Gracile Rasbora is a slim, elegant nano fish valued for its graceful, elongated profile and soft reddish-orange coloration, set off by a slender black stripe running along its flank. Its delicate build and small size make it a standout addition to any nano or planted aquarium, where it shows off its natural color best against a dark substrate and lush greenery.

Peaceful and social by nature, the Gracile Rasbora does best in a shoal of six or more, where it displays relaxed, fluid schooling behavior rather than the tighter formations of some other rasbora species. It thrives in soft, slightly acidic, well-planted tanks that mimic the slow-moving streams and blackwater habitats it comes from in nature.

This species is undemanding once established, making it a great choice for both nano tank specialists and community tank keepers looking to add movement and subtle color without overwhelming more delicate tank mates.

Care Highlights:

• Tank Size: Minimum 5-10 gallons for a small group
• Water Parameters: pH 5.5-7.0, soft to moderately hard water, temperature 22-27°C
• Diet: Micro pellets, crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, daphnia
• Temperament: Peaceful, best kept in groups of 6 or more
• Tank Mates: Other small, peaceful nano fish; avoid larger or aggressive species

A lovely, understated nano fish for hobbyists who appreciate subtle color and graceful movement in a planted aquascape.
