Identity and origin
- Origin
- Java; wider historical records require taxonomic review
- Identity
- Javan rasbora species complex
A schooling fish described from Java. Molecular research detected several distinct lineages under this familiar name; a yellow stripe or the label wader pari alone cannot establish species or island provenance.
Habitat and care
Freshwater streams and rivers. Habitat and identity reference
Maintain a shoal in a mature aquarium with open swimming space and planted margins. Retain drainage records.
Design for feeding and movement
Care-planning notes. Confirm exact requirements for the species and source population.
- Check adult dimensions and social needs for this species; small body size alone does not establish aquarium suitability.
- Provide swimming space and refuge, and choose companions with compatible feeding behaviour.
- Match food size to the animal and observe feeding directly, especially when keeping small species with faster feeders.
