− | + | |tank_compatibility=:Best kept with peaceful, robust fish that are not overly active nor will out-compete the Scarlet Badis to its dinner, such as [[Harlequin Rasbora]]s or [[Corydora]]s. Male Scarlet Badis may be territorial towards one another, so they are best kept in male/female pairs or one male with several females. They may also be territorial towards similar-looking fish, which may include [[Dwarf Cichlids]]. | |
− | + | |diet=:Dario species are micro-predators feeding on small aquatic crustaceans, worms, insect larvae and other zooplankton. They can be a little picky in the aquarium and may not accept dried foods although in some cases they will learn to take them over time. At any rate they should always be offered regular meals of small live or frozen fare such as [[Artemia nauplii]], [[Daphnia]], grindal, micro and chopped [[bloodworm]] in order to develop ideal colour and conditioning. | |
