About

Sundadanio axelrodi 'Neon' (or closely related species traded as 'Dwarf Neon Rasbora') is a popular nano fish with a vivid horizontal blue stripe. Soft, slightly acidic water brings out the best colouration. A school of 10 or more against a dark substrate and green planting creates a mesmerising display.

Behaviour: Peaceful schooler; keep 8+ for natural confidence and colour. Compatibility: Ideal with shrimp, pygmy corys, Boraras, and other nano fish.
