Blue Axelrodi Rasbora (Sundadanio Axelrodi)

Blue Axelrodi Rasbora, scientifically known as Sundadanio Axelrodi, is a small and peaceful fish native to Southeast Asia. Here are some key details regarding their care requirements:

1. Temperature: The ideal temperature for Blue Axelrodi Rasboras is between 73°F to 79°F (23°C to 26°C). Maintaining a stable temperature within this range is crucial for their health and well-being.

2. Minimum Tank Size: While these fish are small in size, they require a certain amount of space to thrive. For a small school of Blue Axelrodi Rasboras, it is recommended to have at least a 10-gallon tank. However, it's important to note that the more space you can provide, the better it is for the overall health and behavior of the fish.

Tank Type and Details:

• Aquascape: Provide a well-planted tank with areas of open water for swimming. They prefer a setup that mimics their natural habitat, so including some driftwood, rocks, and plants like Java moss or Java fern can help create an environment similar to their native streams and rivers.

• Water Quality: Maintain good water quality with regular water changes. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0.

• Filtration: A gentle filter is recommended as these fish are sensitive to strong water currents. Make sure the filtration system doesn't create strong currents that stress out the fish.

• Tank Mates: Blue Axelrodi Rasboras are peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish such as other Rasboras, Tetras, and peaceful Dwarf Cichlids. Avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive species to prevent any conflict or stress.

• Feeding: They are omnivores and will readily accept high-quality flake or small pellet foods. You can also supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia to provide them with a varied and balanced diet.

• Behavior: They are schooling fish, so it is best to keep them in groups of 6 or more. Larger groups will help them feel more secure and display their natural behavior.

• Maintenance: Regular water checks and partial water changes are important to keep the water parameters stable and maintain a healthy environment for the fish.

By following these guidelines, you can create an ideal environment for Blue Axelrodi Rasboras and ensure their well-being in your aquarium.
