Description
Sawbwa resplendens, also known as the Lake Inle Rummynose Rasbora, the Naked Rasbora, or Asian Rummynose Rasbora, is a silver-bodied peaceful freshwater fish native to Myanmar's Inle Lake. These small, schooling fish, growing up to 1.4 inches (3.5 cm), are known for their striking appearance, with males displaying iridescent silvery-blue bodies and vibrant red on their snout and tail lobes, while females are duller with a dark spot near the anus. These tiny bejeweled tropical freshwater fish thrive in planted aquariums with dark substrates and appreciate clean, slow-moving water. Because these fish are a shoaling species, it is important to keep them in groups of at least 6-8 individuals, with a recommended ratio favoring females to minimize male dominance displays. Sawbwa resplendens are omnivores and readily accept a varied diet, including high-quality flakes, tiny sinking micro-pellets, and live foods such as baby brine shrimp. These fish do not ship individually bagged.
