Since you deal with fish on a regular basis , I figured I would ask your opinion. I have a 29 tall tank and was thinking about getting a breeding pair of apistogramma cacatuoides triple red and a breeding pair of apistogramma borelli for that tank. I your opinion, is that too small? Also, would the fish in this video make good tank mate for these kind of fish or are they too small and would just become lunch? I'm they are too small, could you recommend tank mates that would be suitable (if any)? I would like to have at least one type of fish for each layer of the water column (top water, mid water, and bottom swimmers) if possible and no jumpers but if all top waters are jumpers I have a top just in case.

[@BMTH2296]

You forgot to mention something important. The hardest part about keeping chili rasbora, is finding them in stock in the first place. 😭

[@ticket2space621]

No kidding. These and red cherry shrimp were what got me into the hobby and I couldn't find them anywhere here in central Florida. I gave in and ordered them from a couple different sources online and man... Great fish

So true!

I’m in Indonesia where this fish come from... I couldn’t find them in local fish store, have to go online and usually wild caught

[@BertShackleford]

I keep a species specific tank with _Boraras brigittae_ or better known as the Chili Rasbora. If you plan on breeding them, I have a few suggestions. 1. Around the springtime, increase/maintain a water temperature of 77°F+. They need the warmer water to induce spawning. 2. Add Catappa leaves for the tannins and softening of the water. The tannins are important folks. 3. The inclusion of live or frozen live food definitely stimulates the breeding response. Live is preferable but frozen/live foods will suffice. 4. Reduce or at least be wary of the strength of water flowing throughout the tank. Too strong of a current and they will not breed. I place a sponge over the pump outlet and basically rely on the micro-bubbles produced from a single air stone. 5. Not all, but some of your Chili's will predate on their fry so please be aware. Lastly - *_be patient._* Like Jason had previously stated. These fish are not easy for beginners to breed. In fact, I never intended on breeding _any_ of my fish but Nature always finds a way! Some of them (like my CPD's) breed year-round which can be both a blessing and a curse. Just prepare for a modicum of frustration if you intend on breeding _Boraras brigittae_ ladies and gentlemen. Stay classy my friends.

Love my chili’s. I have about 15 with my cpd’s as well. It’s funny because when I kept them years ago they were shy and would always hide in the back in the plants but these that I have now I would not call shy at all. They swim all over in their aquarium. No big threatening fish in either past or present tank. Your fish and plants are beautiful

[@AlexIsModded]

I have my chili rasbora school in a tank with my betta, and they're fine together cause I knew how my betta would behave toward them beforehand. I think there are times when fish can be different sizes and be fine together, but it's based on temperament and tank conditions.

[@markhunter2244]

Definitely a must have fish, I only see these occasionally and they sell out very quickly at my LFS.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Same thing around here!

You just helped me a lot. I have got a 14 gallon tank. It's a cube though. Not set up yet. Doing an Aquascape. I wasn't sure how many fish I can put in. Additional to Shrimps and Otocinclus or Pigmy Corydoras. I have subscribed to your channel. Your style is aswell very calming. Thank you. Best wishes from UK.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Glad you are here!

[@HeyItsJA]

Thank you for covering these! I've been considering them, but I don't like to tinker with my water chemistry, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep them given the published water parameters. But I know you guys have similar water chemistry to me (moderately hard water, ph around 7.8-8.0), so you proved it is possible to keep them happy in similar conditiions.

[@GenRN]

I’m 7.6-7.8 with success!

[@Ad_Astra_321]

I have 7.8 to 8 & mine are just fine! I add katapa leaves & tint the water a bit & they seem to appreciate that. Definitely get a larger number of them, they really thrive & are outgoing with over 8, I think ;)

[@HeyItsJA]

@@GenRN Good to hear! I just found out my LFS also has these in stock from time to time and they don't alter their water parameters, meaning it should be easy to bring them to a home setup.

[@HeyItsJA]

@@Ad_Astra_321 Haven't tried blackwater since I'm worried about pH stability after water changes, but it seems like your method would be a good way to go!

Probably not 😀

[@menolopes6479]

Thanks Jason. I just got these 5 days ago cause I was very inspired by what I heard. I have 12 in a 10 gallon with live plants. What I’m seeing is that I’m not getting that red color on any of them. It keeps looking like a washed out orange. Any ideas on how to improve this? Thanks for your info.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Give them a little time. Also, darker substrate and backgrounds can darken them up too.

[@LostInWestTexas]

I have mine in a 20 long, and they spend about 75% of their time directly under the HOB flow. I have it on an end, so they have plenty of space to move away from the flow, but nope. They want to be right under it. Crazy little feesh. I have them with my neo shrimps.

[@janetstarr10]

Hi Jason - I ordered my 24 Green Kubotai Rasboras after asking if you treated your high pH to keep these fish. We have the same water parameters - 8.2 pH w/ similar KH and GH. I ordered 24 and received them Wednesday and spent over an hour slowly acclimating them to my tank water by adding 1/2 cup tank water to their bag every 4 minutes until the bag was full, dumping out half of the water and adding 1/2 c back using the same process. My ammonia and nitrites and at zero, nitrates 10ppm. I've lost 1/2 of the fish. LiveAquaria suggested I put 1ml of lemon juice into the 16 gal tank and that I order some Fluval Peat pellets to lower the pH. I thought everything would be fine. I'm hoping the remaining fish adjust and in the future stick to live bearers and other fish that like higher pH. I just don't know what I did wrong. Any ideas?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

It could depend on how there fish were kept? What were the water parameters they were keeping the fish in? Also, I don’t drip acclimate gosh because it can cause ammonia spikes in the bag. Hopefully, the rest adjust ok.

[@janetstarr10]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics Lost all but one. I've seen so many ways to acclimate and did watch your video about ammonia, pH, and carbon dioxide and how it changes as soon as the bag is opened. I followed their instructions to the T. Should have listened to you and acclimated them to the water temp, strained the bag water out and dumped them in the tank. I guess I have to stick w/ live bearers that like high pH. Checked my numbers again today. Perfect. The one poor fish must be swimming around wondering where all his buddies went. I hate it.

[@TheReal_Pim_Tool]

I love this tank! Question: I have a 5.5 gallon with two male Embers and 4 cherry shrimp, I was looking to get either 3 Clown Killis or 8 Chili Rasboras. Which would you recommend?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I would do the chilis!

[@shellyk1371]

I've been wanting these fish for so long, but every resource I read said they need soft water. My parameters are pretty much the same as yours, so I'm glad yours are doing well. How many would you recommend in a 20 gallon long with 9 green neons, a mystery snail and about 30 shrimp? My nitrates are in the 20s at most (right before a water change). I do water changes once a week, but can sneak an extra one mid week if needed. Thanks!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Ya, we’ve had no issue at all. You could easily do 20-30.

[@ticket2space621]

I'd agree with what she said. I started with a 20L and like 20 of these guys. At the moment they're with some guppies and CPDs and around 30 shrimp. The rasboras have actually had quite a few babies and I've almost doubled the population with not much effort contrary to what it says all over the internet. And they're thriving in my hard Florida water so.. go for it! Hope you get them soon

[@ticket2space621]

Sorry for the tangent but I'd like to also suggest strawberry rasboras. They're very similar, breed even easier and the colors are beautiful as well. And they love to hang with other micro rasboras

Just due to my tiny apartment size, I have a 10 gallon kit. I have kinda gone retro with an UGF, paired with a small HOB filter. Is the HOB style filter a threat to the chilis? Becasue they are small. I could screen or put a sponge on it I guess. Right now, i ma cycling, and have really just started getting a bacteria bloom, so it's gonna be a while, I have time to move or change things. It's either gonna be these or Ember tetras I think.

[@happybubble4863]

i've read that they dont like a strong current or strong lighting, so my tank has a slightly darker corner, more heavily planted and out of the way of the outflow of the filter, however ever since i've got them they've been "playing" in the current of the filter (even jumping up in it where i had to rescue them out of the filter before i put a sponge in there to prevent it from happening again) in the more lit part of the tank. Does anyone know of this is normal behaviour or should i look for something bothering them? They eat well, are very lively and do group together nicely (except for 1 fish who always seems to loose the group)

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I have found both the dwarf and chili Rasboras spend a decent amount of time in the current when given the option.

[@valiaudet3415]

[@Ad_Astra_321]

Does anyone here keep them with Endlers? I imagine they'd get along fine... do they?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I think they would be ok together.

Would they be ok with Bolivian Rams in a 60 Gallon?✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They would probably get eaten since they are so tiny!

[@Colin-1964]

Thank you Sir. I love them……but love my Rams more. Thanks for replying.✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Haha I used to joke you need a 125 for these guys.

[@jack27nikk38]

Very peaceful but i still wonder will they harm my cherry shrimp 😬🤨👀

[@ticket2space621]

No I don't believe so. They may eat some babies, but I've had mine with some painted fire reds for almost a year and the shrimp and rasbora population has totally exploded. They even like to eat the little bits of food that get thrown around when the shrimp are eating . So while it's possible, it's rare enough that I've never seen it with my own eyes, and my shrimp numbers are going up. They're smaller than the adult shrimp

[@dk-ku4tc]

can i do 20 of them in a 5g long?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I might go with 10?

[@mattm12124]

do you think a peacock gudgeon would eat these?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I doubt it - peacock gudgeons have tiny mouths.

[@yodelguy9005]

Will they eat baby shrimp?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Probably not - they’re really small fish.

Wow...this is creepy. I was looking up customers reviews for chili rasboras on aquahuna. Then Jason decided to post this clip. Our brains are merging somehow. But that's another topic. This has happened Ed on other social media platforms. Our smartphone device act as a conduit of this merging.

Is the light in the an RGB light?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

It’s an Aquatop light.
