Муҳити зист

Endemic to the western part of the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. Inhabits peat bogs and related rivers and streams, located on the canopy of the tropical forest.

Нигоҳдорӣ ва нигоҳубин, ташкили аквариум

The optimal size of the aquarium for a small flock of fish starts at 40 liters, although smaller volumes will be sufficient. The design uses a large number of aquatic shade-loving plants, including floating ones for additional shading, as well as a sandy substrate and various shelters in the form of snags. The lighting is subdued.

To give the water a characteristic brownish tint, dried tree leaves are placed at the bottom, which, in the process of decomposition, will saturate it with tannins. Read more about this in the article “Which tree leaves can be used in an aquarium.”

Keeping a Brigitte Rasbora tank is fairly easy if you follow a few essential steps: regular organic waste removal, weekly fresh water changes, and constant monitoring of pH and dGH.

When choosing a filter, it is advisable to give preference to models that do not cause excessive water flow, since these fish come from stagnant water bodies and are poorly adapted to life in conditions of strong water movement.

Рафтор ва мутобиқат

Peaceful calm fish, compatible with other non-aggressive species of comparable size. The content in the group is at least 8-10 individuals, with a smaller number they will become shy and will constantly hide.

Парвариш / зотпарварӣ

In favorable conditions and in the presence of sexually mature females and males, spawning occurs regularly. The fish disperse their eggs in the water column and no longer show any parental care, and on occasion they can even eat their own offspring, so it is not surprising that the survival rate of fry in the general aquarium is extremely low.

If you plan to start breeding Rasbor Brigitte, then you will need to prepare in advance a separate tank with identical water conditions, where the eggs or the fry that have already appeared will be transferred. This spawning aquarium usually has a volume of 10-15 liters, is equipped with a heater and a simple airlift filter with a sponge. A separate lighting system is not required. Mosses or ferns are perfect as decoration.

The incubation period lasts 1-2 days, after another 24 hours the fry will begin to swim freely in search of food. At the first stage, it is necessary to provide microscopic food, for example, shoe ciliates. As they mature, around the second week, Artemia nauplii can be fed. It is feeding that is the most difficult when breeding.
