Boraras brigittae

[Nelson]

Can anyone tell me what other fish occur in Boraras brigittae's habitat ?.
Links to where you got your info would be great .

There was a good Boraras article in PFK a couple of months ago that listed co habitant species... ill did it out when i get home. You know that it should have licorice gourami though, simply because they are fascinating and beautiful

I'd love them,and Chocolate's,but very hard to get around my way.Also would need to have a constant supply of live food.

They do tend to pop up around now, I guess it must be the time of year. White worm is super easy to keep going

Distribution
Appears to be endemic to southwestern Borneo though occurence records are scant. The type locality is ‘Bandjarmasin’, a port town in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan Selatan (South Kalimantan), and following Kottelat (1991) it’s range extends westwards as far as the Jelai Bila river basin, near the town of Sukamara, where it’s said to occur sympatrically with the congener B. merah (but see ‘Notes’).

Thanks everyone .

 

[Dantrasy]

Thanks for posting the questions Nelson. I've bookmarked this page. I just got 17 chilis on the weekend. So this thread was perfect timing. Like you I'm looking forward to building a really nice home for them.

looks like it, i thought the print version had the side article of setting up a tank for them with other endemic species? Maybe i was mistaken but will hunt the hard copy of the issue down tonight.

I was looking for the same info the other day. I found a video on YouTube with boraras brigittae and a betta together in there natural habitat. not sure on the type of betta though.
