About this fish

Black Tiger Badis is a small, shy micro-predator (such as the scarlet badis). It often refuses dry food, needs gentle tankmates and dense cover, and rewards patience with jewel-like colour.

Care tips

Feed small live/frozen foods — most refuse flakes and pellets.
Keep with calm, small tankmates; boisterous fish outcompete them.
Provide dense planting and cover so this shy fish feels secure.
