🐟 Axelrod's Rasbora Sundadanio axelrodi

The Axelrod's Rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi) is a moderate-care, peaceful species from Indonesia. Adults reach roughly 0.9", so plan on a minimum tank of 10 gallons. Keep the water between 72–79°F with a pH of 4–6.5. This is a schooling fish — keep a group of at least 8 so it feels secure and colors up. As a micropredator, it does best on a varied diet appropriate to its feeding style.
