Product Description:

Scientific and Common Names: The scientific name for this species is Rasbora Heteromorpha, commonly known as Black Harlequin Rasbora or Black Rasbora. These fish are known for their striking black and silver coloration.

Habitat: Black Harlequin Rasboras are native to Southeast Asia, specifically Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They inhabit slow-moving rivers, streams, and flooded forests.

Tank Setup: These fish thrive in a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of swimming space. A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended. Provide a mix of open swimming areas and densely planted areas with floating plants for shade. Ensure the tank has a tight-fitting lid as these fish are known to jump.

Diet and Nutrition: Black Harlequin Rasboras are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Offer them a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.

Size and Growth Rate: These fish typically reach a size of around 2 cm (0.8 inches) in length. They have a relatively slow growth rate compared to other fish species.

Behavioral Traits: Black Harlequin Rasboras are peaceful and social fish that prefer to be kept in groups of at least six individuals. They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their surroundings. They are known to display schooling behavior, creating a mesmerizing effect in the aquarium.

Care Level: These fish are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and a balanced diet are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and Reproduction: Black Harlequin Rasboras are egg scatterers. To encourage breeding, provide them with a separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants for the eggs to attach to. The water temperature should be slightly higher, around 78-82°F (25-28°C). The parents do not provide any parental care, so it is recommended to remove them after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs.

Health and Disease Prevention: Maintaining good water quality and providing a balanced diet are crucial for the overall health of these fish. Regular observation and monitoring for any signs of disease or stress are recommended. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions: Black Harlequin Rasboras prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. The recommended temperature range is 72-79°F (22-26°C), with a pH level of 6.0-7.5. They appreciate the presence of live plants and a gentle water flow.

Lifespan: With proper care, Black Harlequin Rasboras can live for approximately 3-5 years.

Additional Interesting Facts: Black Harlequin Rasboras are known for their striking coloration, with a black body and silver markings. They are a popular choice for community aquariums due to their peaceful nature. These fish are also known to be excellent jumpers, so it is important to provide a secure lid for the aquarium.
