The Emerald Dwarf 'Rasbora' is a diminutive but beautiful species of danio suitable for smaller well-planted aquaria. They do tend to be of quite a shy disposition and are best maintained in large groups of 10 or more fish. Keeping D. erythromicron in a single species only tank will further the chances of successful spawning without the need for a separate breeding tank, but they can be kept alongside other small peaceful species if desired. Originating from Lake Inle, Shan States, Myanmar, where the water is reportedly fairly hard and alkaline, D. erythromicron will do best in conditions which mimic the natural habitat as closely as possible. Due to the relatively high elevation of Lake Inle (approx 3000ft), and with the fish being used to fairly cool conditions, the temperature should not be allowed to exceed 25 °C. Provide plenty of cover in the form of rocks, caves, bogwood and plants, including floating species. These fish will feel safer if there is dense cover, and will be inclined to venture out more if they know they have a maze of hiding places to retreat into if need be. Efficient, yet gentle filtration is recommended, and small partial water changes should be carried out on a regular basis to keep organic pollutants to a minimum.
Other fish originating from Lake Inle include Sawbwa resplendens and Yunnanilus brevis and these make excellent tankmates. The generic placement of Danio erythromicron has undergone much debate over the past few years, with some experts initially believing the species should belong to the Microrasbora genus. May also be seen on sale as Burmese Zebra 'Rasbora'.

Shipping Policy
We ship our fish with DX, the only courier in the United Kingdom who are licensed to ship fish and other livestock by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.
We can guarantee next-day delivery for £32 between Monday and Thursday for orders placed before 1pm and for boxes up to 25kg.
We are able to ship on Friday for a Saturday arrival, but this service will cost £45.
Please note that we will not send a fish that day if overnight temperatures are due to be lower than 6 degrees Celsius.
Some of the fish we stock can be sexed and are sold in a pair of 1 male and 1 female. Please bear in mind, however, that we attempt to match them correctly to the best of our anatomic knowledge but there can be some mistakes, as it is not always guaranteed that the fish will be oppositely sexed.
All our fish are packed in double thickness bags for their safety and security.
The bags are then packed into a polystyrene box with a 40h heat pack and a cardboard outer.
After a shipping date is agreed upon, it is the responsibility of the buyer to be at home when the package arrives.
Once the fish arrive it is your responsibility to acclimatise and then quarantine them using the dripping method. All fish leave our care in good health.
International Shipping
On account of stringent regulations and certificates surrounding the shipping of live fish reintroduced following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the European Union (EU) in 2016, Aquarium-Fish Ltd are no longer able to ship to the EU.
However, we are able to ship anywhere else in the world. Please get in touch if you reside outside the UK and are interested in making a purchase to discuss shipping costs and times.
