Harliquin
Rasbora heteromorpha
| HABITS |
|
This is one of the long established favourites of the hobbyist and it is easy to see why. It has much to offer: colour, shape, ease of keeping, and is a perfect community fish. The Harlequin lives best in a group and in a quiet, softly acidic, planted aquarium with other non-aggressive fish. Once established in your aquarium, this fish will give you a long, trouble-free life.
