Scarlet Badis - 0.25-0.5" Unsexed. Remarks: Scarlet badis are a gem of a nano fish with their bright red bodies and fins accented by electric blue stripes and edges. The amount of color packed into such a tiny fish is truly impressive. Males use this bright color to court females that are notably duller, usually being mostly tan. As territorial battles amongst these tiny fish can get very violent, sometimes less dominant males will pretend to be females by also displaying muted colors so they are less likely to be attacked. In the wild, these fish can be found in shallow, blackwater pools and streams in India. The water in these pools is very warm, mildly acidic, soft, and full of botanicals such as fallen leaves and seed pods. These botanicals provide a habitat that supports a wide variety of tiny worms and crustaceans tha. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
