Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, Rasbora espaye has a mild temperament. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the micro Rasbora hanabi may be attacked, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress.Recommended species for mixing with Rasbora espayi are smaller fish such as neon tetras and other caracinids and red fins. Rasbora espaye swim in the middle to upper layers of the aquarium. Therefore, when mixing them with angelfish that swim in the same layer, they may fight with each other, so please add water plants or other measures to prevent this. When mixing angelfish with other species, make sure that the Rasbora espaye is eating well, as it is common for other species to take their food.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep Rasbora espayi want to breed them. However, breeding Rasbora espayi is said to be highly challenging in a typical breeding environment.Among them, those who are successful in breeding often use the following methods to breed. First, in order to breed, one female and three males are mixed to make a pair. Once the pair is confirmed, the pH is lowered by 0.5 to 1 less than normal to turn on the spawning switch. After that, we lower the pH to 6.0 to 6.5, which is more acidic, so that the females begin to prepare for spawning. Since spawning often occurs on the surface of leaves, it is a good idea to add plants with large leaves such as Amazon Sword or Microthorium. After hatching, take the same measures as for normal tropical fish. If you are interested in having them spawn and breed, please refer to the following information.

What to keep in mind when keeping Rasbora espaye
Rasbora espaye is recommended because it is easy to keep and to mix with other species. Another attraction is that it is likely to be sold at specialty stores due to its high name recognition. Rasbora espaye has conspicuous orange and black colors, but a single fish is not very conspicuous, so it is recommended to keep a few fish in an aquarium.
