The Rummy Nose Rasbora (scientific name: Sawbwa resplendens), also known as the Sawbwa barb, Naked Microrasbora, or Asian Rummy Nose Tetra (despite not being a true tetra), is a mesmerizing nano fish that brings beauty and movement to any peaceful community aquarium. Renowned for its striking appearance, shoaling behavior, and peaceful nature, this Rasspecies is a favorite among aquarists, particularly those with planted tanks and dark substrates that enhance its vibrant colors.
While wild populations are facing challenges, dedicated aquaculture efforts are helping preserve this remarkable species, making it accessible to fishkeeping enthusiasts worldwide.
Behavior & Tank Compatibility
The Rummy Nose Rasbora primarily inhabits the top and middle levels of the aquarium but will occasionally explore all areas while foraging. It thrives in schools of at least six, with larger groups displaying fascinating social dynamics as males compete and posture. This species is an excellent tankmate for other small, peaceful freshwater fish and can cohabitate with adult dwarf shrimp, although it may prey on shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates also make suitable companions.
This adaptable rasbora flourishes in slow-moving, well-maintained water with a planted environment, dark substrate, and floating plants to replicate its natural habitat. Clean water conditions are essential for maintaining its optimal health and coloration.
Diet & Feeding
Not a finicky eater, the Rummy Nose Rasbora maintains its brilliant colors on a varied diet rich in protein. It eagerly accepts high-quality flake foods, micro pellets, and live or frozen delicacies such as Artemia (brine shrimp), microworms, Tubifex, and finely chopped bloodworms. Regularly providing a diverse diet will enhance both its vibrancy and overall well-being.
