Species Profile

Emerald Dwarf Rasbora

Danio erythromicron

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • Stunning in planted tanks
  • Peaceful community fish

Emerald Dwarf Rasboras, also called Emerald Dwarf Danios, are Danio erythromicron. They are distinct from Green Kubotai Rasboras and show blue-green coloration with dark vertical barring rather than a solid neon-green body.

They do best in a mature planted aquarium with stable, moderately hard to alkaline water and a proper social group.

Care Notes

Keep the aquarium mature and stable, with plant cover and moderate open swimming space. Avoid keeping this species too warm long term.

Feed micro pellets, baby brine shrimp, microworms, and finely crushed flake in small portions.

Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation

Keep at least 10 in a planted 10-gallon or larger aquarium. A 20-gallon long is excellent for a larger group. Keep the water stable, avoid overheating, and feed appropriately small foods.

Build a Better Aquarium

Plants That Pair Perfectly

Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.

Add live plants to create cover, improve water quality, and build a healthier aquarium for your fish.
