Mosquitorasbora - Boraras brigittae
Boraras brigittae, the Mosquitorasbora, is extremely popular as a by-fish in invertebrate aquaristics due to its small size and compatibility with dwarf shrimp. It needs soft water and really makes a splash with its intense red coloration. A school of these dwarfs in the bee shrimp tank is the icing on the cake, so to speak. - Garnelio

Description

Mosquitorasboras or mosquito dan ios(Boraras brigittae) from Borneo are very small remaining nano fish that can be socialized very well with shrimp. Their preference for soft water with a pH of 6 to 7 and 24-28 °C as well as their small size makes them a suitable aquarium mate even for bee shrimp. An aquarium from 54 liters is already sufficient for keeping them.

The Moskitobärbling looks quite similar to the Schwanzstreifenbärbling Boraras urophthalmoides from the physique. It also becomes only 2-3 cm long. Boraras brigittae is however clearly more attractive and more intensively marked: on strawberry-red reason a broad black longitudinal stripe pulls itself over the whole body. The fins are red with black markings. Females are minimally thicker than males, but the sexes are not easily distinguished.

The gregarious Mosquitorasbora (Boraras brigittae) is a social group fish and absolutely requires the security of a school of 10 conspecifics or more. Due to its small size, larger by-fish are difficult - a species aquarium or the company of equally sized danios is much better. Mosquito danios can be kept together with shrimps without hesitation, the fish will also not eat freshly hatched shrimps. Keeping them together with dwarf crayfish in the aquarium is not necessarily recommended: Boraras brigittae tends to stay in the middle rather than in the upper layers of the water and is thus readily preyed upon once in a while by dwarf crayfish.

The Mosquitorasbora takes very gladly finely grated flake food, eats however also fine frost food or live food such as Artemianauplien, Cyclops, Essigälchen, in addition, Mikrowürmchen, Bananenwürmchen or Grindal.

Breeding of the mosquito danio is rather difficult. The water must be very soft and somewhat acidic, the fish like to spawn over dense water plants. The number of eggs per spawning is very low. The parents have to be taken out of the rearing aquarium directly after spawning, the young fish are raised with infusoria.

Our food recommendation: The professional NatureHolic Nanofeed is a staple food for all small aquarium fish. This mini fish food and rearing food is a fine soft granulate which, thanks to its softness, resembles the consistency of tiny crustaceans and insect larvae and protects the delicate mouths of nano fish and fry from micro-injuries.

Our plant recommendation: Use for planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.

Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.

Hallo Frank, vielen Dank für deine Frage! Die Tiere sind in etwa 1 cm groß bei Lieferung. 

Question: "Mir ist es sehr wichtig, dass mein Hobby nicht zu Naturzerstörung führt. Handelt es sich bei den bei Garnelio angeboteten Misquitorasbora um Nachzuchten oder um Wildfänge?"

Hallo Christopher, vielen Dank für deine Frage! Die Tiere sind aus Zuchtanlagen. Wir bei Garnelio sprechen uns allerdings explizit gegen die Idee aus, dass Wildfänge Naturzerstörung sind. Ethische und Nachhaltige Entnahmen sind zu 100% möglich und werden bei einigen unserer Arten seit Jahrzehnten erfolgreich betrieben.

Question: "Hallo Habe bereits 10 Smaragdbärblinge und 15 Moskitobärblinge in einem 100l Aquarium und möchte nun gerne erweitern. Wie viele Moskitobärblinge könnte ich jetzt noch dazu geben? "
