smm333 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) So after MONTHS on 3 separate fish sites wait lists, flip aquatics has blue axelrodi rasboras! Last week I traded spixi snails at my lfs and came home with 4 rosy loaches (I'm going back tomorrow for 2 more), and 6 spotted rasbora. I couldn't help myself though- I've waited too long for these axelrodi! I ordered 6, as well as 6 chilli rasbora- both wish list fish my lfs doesn't have. To score free shipping I added a couple mystery "adoption tank" fish. Just had to share with folks who understand, lol! Anyone have experience with the blue axelrodi rasboras? I'm going to add them to my well established shrimp tank. My strawberry rasbora and spotted rasbora are both doing amazing with shrimp, so I think these guys would too.

AllFishNoBrakes Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I too waited months and then finally got my hands on them. They’re rad little nano fish. If you already have other Rasboras or similar nano fish they shouldn’t really be any different in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smm333 Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 I'm hoping to spawn them, but it seems tricky. Hopefully I can get everything just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdaddy36 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Don't they require live foods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen baby brine shrimp, crushed up flake, and nano pellets has worked just fine for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read and watched they really prefer live but can be eased into other foods. I ordered mine online and was told they are fed northfin community and bug pro so I am going to try that along with vinegar eels and microworms. Those are the live foods my other tiny fish go crazy for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
