Can Strawberry Rasbora live with Scissortail Rasbora?
Caution — with care
Why
- Very different sizes (Scissortail Rasbora 3.5" vs Strawberry Rasbora 0.7") — these two need different tanks, and the smaller fish will be out-competed at feeding time.
Sweet spot: both do well at 73–82°F and pH 6–7 — aim there.
