About this fish

Boraras maculatus is a peaceful nano cyprinid that shoals tightly and suits planted and nano aquascapes. Its small size and calm nature make it a community favourite.

Care tips

Keep 8+ together for a confident, colourful shoal.
Soft, slightly acidic water and planted cover bring out the best colour.
Feed small foods — micro-pellets, crushed flake and frozen daphnia/cyclops.
