Rasbora Erythromicron, also called the Emerald Dward Rasbora, is a small species of school rasbora notable for their vertical tiger striped patterns and false eye-spot at the base of their tail. They're very peaceful, and their small size makes them a great option for school fish in smaller tanks.
Care
Rasbora Erythromicron grows to about 1.5", and should be kept in groups of 5 or more in an aquarium of at least 10 gallons. They're an active mid to top level swimmer, and can often be seen sparring with other members of their school, though there's almost never any actual damage. They do well in planted tanks, and with small ornamental shrimp like Cherry and Crystal Shrimp.
Diet
Rasbora Erythromicron will accept small flake and pellet foods, but will thrive on frozen or live options like brine shrimp.
