Boraras Brigittae

[keimak]

Saw them at my LFS, I tried the internet.
Now its time to hear any experiences and people's opinion!
Questions are are they good shoalers? how many are a minimum to keep? tank size?
any special care information etc etc

They do shoal quite well, they'll be very timid for the first few weeks until they become more confident, they do best in a species only tank from experience but if you are to keep them with other fish then make sure they're no bigger than double their size or you'll never see them.

Minimum tank size I'd say 20 Litres, minimum I'd say 12, or you'll never see them, they're very timid.

Thanks for the info!
They look awesome in a group

I have twelve of these together with twelve Boraras Merah which are similar. They both shoal together but a lot of the time they go in to smaller mixed shoals then back into the larger shoal. They are in a 72 litre planted tank with some corys which gives them loads of room and seems to give them confidence as their more often or not at the front of the tank, great little fish.

I'm currently considering some of these for my planted tank aswell, they do look nice in some nano tanks i've seen

I have been considering these for a while to go in the shrimp cube... Our LFS had a huge amount in at one point! Stock was getting low on a visit today so decided to grab a few whilst they had some left.. 6 for £7.50

However a few extra jumped in the net along with a couple of Pinocchio Shrimp! Ended up with 10 Brigittae and 2 Pinocchio's
