Added a school of Asian Rummynose to my 50-litre tank. They are very active and their red coloring stands out beautifully against the green plants. Very calm and don’t bother other fish. A great choice for a peaceful setup.

Loved the vibrant red face of these fish. They swim in groups and bring a lot of energy to the tank. I keep them with neon tetras and they get along well. A bit shy at first but settle quickly.

Perfect for a small aquarium. The transparent fins and red body make them a visual highlight. Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still healthy and active.
