Rasbora Patrickyapi

Description

Rasbora patrickyapi, a rare and elegant species ideal for aquascaped or blackwater setups:

Species Overview

  • Scientific Name: Rasbora patrickyapi
  • Family: Danionidae
  • Origin: Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo (peat swamps, blackwater streams)
  • Size: 4–7 cm (adult), commonly 5–6 cm
  • Temperament: Peaceful, schooling
  • IUCN Status: Near Threatened
  • Ideal Group Size: 6–10 individuals 

Tank Requirements

  • Minimum Tank Size:
    • 10 gallons for a small group; 20+ gallons recommended for stability
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 23–27°C (73–81°F)
    • pH: 4.5–6.5 (soft, acidic blackwater preferred)
    • Hardness: 2–10 dGH
  • Décor:
    • Dark substrate, leaf litter, driftwood
    • Dense planting and subdued lighting to mimic peat swamp conditions
  • Filtration: Gentle flow; maintain pristine water quality (low bacterial load)
  • Cover: Secure lid—rasboras can jump 

Diet & Feeding

  • Natural Diet: Micro-invertebrates, insect larvae
  • In Captivity:
    • High-quality micro pellets and flakes
    • Live/frozen: Daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworms
  • Feeding Tips:
    • Offer small portions 1–2 times daily
    • Rotate protein-rich foods for color and conditioning 

Behavior & Compatibility

  • Social: Shoaling species; thrives in groups
  • Tankmates:
    • Peaceful nano fish: small tetras, danios, dwarf gouramis
    • Bottom dwellers: Corydoras, Kuhli loaches
  • Avoid: Aggressive or large fish
  • Notes: Ideal for blackwater biotope or planted nano tanks 

Breeding

  • Difficulty: Moderate to high
  • Conditions:
    • Separate breeding tank (10–15 gallons)
    • Soft, acidic water (pH 5.0–6.5), temp 75–80°F
    • Fine-leaved plants or spawning mops for egg scattering
  • Process:
    • Condition adults with live foods
    • Remove parents post-spawning (they may eat eggs)
  • Fry Care:
    • Infusoria or powdered fry food initially; then baby brine shrimp 

Special Considerations

  • Sensitive to poor water quality—perform frequent small water changes
  • Best kept in mature, stable tanks with tannin-rich water for natural coloration
  • Rare in trade; often wild-caught, so acclimation is crucial
