#emerald dwarf rasbora

[truebluelotus]

Nymphaea Caerulea - Egyptian Blue Lotus

38 days old - kept with fish and snails.

I thought I’d post a video showing how my fish coexist with this plant - almost like how the ancient egyptians used to farm it with tilapia

[artofmisi]

i had a ridiculous amount of fun doodling these derpy fish 💙🐠🐟

[shrimp-account]

Emerald dwarf Rasboras and a rainbow of shrimp. Everyone has been getting along great. The EDRs are a little shy but don't seem to mind the shrimp or the otocinclus. Very pleased with the current state of the tank

[waterskies]

This 10gal has been sitting beside my bed empty for months now. So I just randomly set it up today. I'm not 100% on what I'm going to put in here. I was thinking maybe Celestial Pearl Danios or maybe Emerald Dwarf Rasboras. Another betta is also tempting. I would also like some pygmy corys. I would do cherry shrimp, but my water isn't suitable for them, unfortunately. I'm curious, what would you put in here?

[endangered-aquarium-fish]

the list!!!

every creature that's endangered or critically endangered or extinct in the wild that you can keep and breed in your own (freshwater) aquarium to stop it from dying out completely.

ive been working on this for a while and its still very not done bc oh my god theres so many-

some of these are super duper rare and expensive but others are widely beloved fish, some of them are rlly surprising to see here

you have dwarf emerald rasbora vibes

that's exceptionally kind of you

[emiwrites3reads]

So, I have betta fish but I also got some other fish! I have dwarf emerald rasboras, and pheonix rasbora and a dwarf neon blue goby!

What counts as a "typical" pet is entirely subjective, but for the purposes of this poll, we'll say that "typical" pets are things like dogs, cats, rabbits, small rodents like hamsters and gerbils, and goldfish and betta fish.

Explore the World of Blue Ribbon Guppies: A Comprehensive Guide

Blue Ribbon Guppies: An Introduction

Striking Appearance and Playful Personalities

Blue Ribbon Guppies are celebrated for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reminiscent of prize-winning ribbons. With sleek bodies and gracefully flowing fins, these fish are not just a visual treat; they also showcase engaging personalities. Watch them playfully explore every nook and cranny of their tank, making them a delight to observe.

Standout Varieties: Sapphire Ribbon and Emerald Elegance

Among the noteworthy Blue Ribbon Guppy varieties, the "Sapphire Ribbon" boasts deep blue hues with iridescent silver streaks, creating a mesmerizing ribbon-like effect. On the flip side, the "Emerald Elegance" displays lush green shades reminiscent of emerald gemstones.

General Information about Blue Ribbon Guppies

Origin, Size, and Lifespan

Blue Ribbon Guppies hail from the tropical waters of South America, particularly in countries like Venezuela and Brazil. With a typical size of 1.5 to 2.5 inches, these petite wonders can thrive for about 2 to 3 years with proper care. Known for their peaceful temperament, Blue Ribbon Guppies easily coexist with other non-aggressive fish species.

Vibrant Colors and Patterns

As the name suggests, their appearance steals the show. These guppies showcase a dazzling array of colors—blues, greens, reds, and yellows—often adorned with intricate patterns resembling ribbons. Popular varieties include "Royal Ribbon," "Golden Streamer," and "Crimson Cascade."

Habitat and Tank Requirements

Blue Ribbon Guppies flourish in slow-moving freshwater bodies in their native habitat. To recreate a cozy home for them, a tank of at least 10 gallons is recommended, with slightly alkaline water (pH 7.0 to 7.5) and a temperature range of 72°F to 82°F. Elevate their environment with live or artificial plants, driftwood, and smooth substrates.

Feeding Blue Ribbon Guppies

Omnivorous Diet and Enthusiastic Eating Habits

These guppies relish a blend of plant and animal-based foods. Provide high-quality flakes, pellets, and freeze-dried treats as their primary diet, complemented by live or frozen indulgences like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Feed them small portions multiple times a day, and witness their eagerness as they swim to the surface for meals.

Breeding Blue Ribbon Guppies

Livebearing and Spawning Process

Blue Ribbon Guppies are livebearers, giving birth to live fry. To encourage breeding, maintain optimal water conditions, a higher ratio of females to males, and offer hiding places for fry. Breeding kicks off with males showcasing colorful displays, leading to mating and multiple batches of fry.

Common Health Issues and Preventive Measures

Hardy Yet Vulnerable

While generally hardy, Blue Ribbon Guppies may encounter health issues like fin rot, ich, and parasites. Ensure clean water conditions, quarantine new fish, and maintain a balanced diet to prevent concerns. Regularly monitor your guppies for any signs of distress.

Compatibility and Special Care Instructions

Peaceful Tankmates and Well-Maintained Aquariums

Blue Ribbon Guppies coexist peacefully with non-aggressive fish species. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums, requiring stable water parameters. Regular water testing and maintenance are crucial for their health and longevity.

Legal Considerations and Varieties Compatibility

Stay Informed

Stay aware of local regulations regarding Blue Ribbon Guppy ownership and breeding. Some areas may have specific requirements. Explore compatible tankmates, including Neon Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Corydoras Catfish, Dwarf Gouramis, Endler’s Livebearers, Cherry Shrimp, and Otocinclus Catfish.

Distinguishing Blue Ribbon Guppies from Others

Male and Female Differences and Unique Traits

Male Blue Ribbon Guppies are more colorful and display intricate patterns, while females are slightly larger with less intense coloration. Despite these differences, all guppies share fundamental characteristics such as size, livebearing, omnivorous diet, and species.

In conclusion, Blue Ribbon Guppies stand out with their vibrant blue coloration, setting them apart from other guppy varieties. Follow these guidelines for their care, and relish the beauty they bring to your aquatic world. Happy fishkeeping!

My Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are SUCH beautiful fish! They look great, except that I never see them because they’re SO shy. I’m also not having any luck breeding them... I think I’m just going to end up having to buy more. 

[bee-menagerie]

Where’s Waldo, but ‘Waldo’ is an emerald dwarf rasbora.

[bogey-chan]

My pregnant shrimp yesterday. You can see the baby eyes 🥰 👁👁

Today she isn't carrying any eggs and I dont see any babies, so hopefully they hatched safely and are hiding from my emerald dwarf rasboras.

Hello! I’m new to your account and 1) I absolutely love your tank setups, literal planted tank goals. I was wondering what you’re going to stock your 10 gal with as I’m in the process of redoing mine and am looking at options! Rn I’m probably going to end up with a betta in mine and then hopefully start a 20 long for some other nanos in the future, but I feel like it’s hard to find good options for 10 gallons as most people seem to encourage just putting any fish possible in there, so it’s been a bit tricky for me to find what fish will actually do well lol

Hello and welcome!! Thank you so much for the compliment Anon~❤️! It makes me happy to hear that 😊

10 gals can be a bit tricky to stock it's true. Especially since most fish have to be in groups of 6 or more so you have to decide if you want to stock the bottom or the water column.

I was originally going to stock my tank with around 10 or so chili rasboras and a couple amano shrimp. But I found some other fish I have always wanted and went with 7 Daisy's blue rice fish instead. I'm a sucker for blue lol

Some other options for a 10 gal could be 8 or so Celestial Pearl Danios/Galaxy Rasbora, exclamation point rasbora, dwarf emerald rasbora, or green neon tetra. Maybe a couple of sparkling gourami if it's densely planted. A single Honey Gourami would be nice, too!

If you have a lid, you can try out furcata rainbow fish, spotted blue-eye rainbow fish or any pseudomugil species, clown killifish, or marble hatchetfish, and of course, a single betta could work as well.

For algae eaters, you can try cherry shrimp or a couple of Amano shrimp. Be careful about putting them in with bettas or gourami, though, as sometimes they might be predated on.

I know some people don't like them but snails are friends! They're a good indicator if you're overfeeding or not, and they graze on algae. I personally like Ramshorn snails. They come in different colours and can get to the size of a quarter. Be careful about Apple snails, though, in my experience, they eat plants the very moment there isn't some other readily available food in the aquarium.

There's also dwarf cichlids you can try out, but I have yet to dip my toes into that side of the hobby so I don't know too much about them other than the minimum being a 10 gal for certain species.

For a 20 gal you can try a smaller species of Corydoras, like Pandas, Salt and Pepper, Dwarf, Pygmy, Nanus to name a few.

If you want something odd, then maybe a Dwarf anchor catfish, or a school of 6 or so, kuhli loaches.

Also, a must for a planted 20gal and up would be otocinclus. There's a few different types, like the zebra, but they can be a bit pricy and hard to find.

If you wanted to go unheated, then a little school of 8 or so white cloud mountain minnows could work. They also sell an albino variety, usually called the golden white cloud.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. So I hope that gives you some better ideas stocking wise or leads you to find the perfect fish for your 10 or your future 20long!
