Can Dwarf Emerald Rasbora (nanus) live with Brilliant Rasbora?
Caution — with care
Why
- Very different sizes (Brilliant Rasbora 4" vs Dwarf Emerald Rasbora (nanus) 0.7") — these two need different tanks, and the smaller fish will be out-competed at feeding time.
Sweet spot: both do well at 72–79°F and pH 6.5–7 — aim there.
