Description
Javanese Rice Fish are a great choice for the peaceful community aquarium. In the wild, this species inhabits ponds, ditches and canals that are overgrown with aquatic vegetation. For this reason, the tank should be mature and heavily planted. Javanese Rice Fish feed in large groups near the surface on insect larvae and tiny crustaceans. It is therefore appropriate to keep this species in groups of at least 6 fish, and preferably more. Javanese Rice Fish are peaceful by nature and should only be kept with other fish of a similar temperament, and which also enjoy the same aquarium conditions.
