Daisy's Rice Fish are very small, peaceful fish that are perfect additions to smaller sized aquariums. These fish because of their size, should be kept with other similarly sized fish in a peaceful environment that is well planted alongside pieces of driftwood and smooth rocks. They are a very outgoing fish and love to school with each other, so a recommended minimum grouping of 6 or more is recommended for the best coloration and activity to be seen.

Male Rice Fish have a shimmery blue body with red highlights in their fins, while female Rice Fish with a slightly more yellow color body with orange highlighting. They are omnivores and will thrive with a varied diet of high quality flake food, pellets, and freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex. They will also appreciate being given vegetable matter.

Daisy's Rice Fish grow to a max size of just over 1 inch, so a school of at least 6 fish is ideal in a 10g minimum tank. They prefer their water temperatures between 73-80^oF and a pH between 6.0-7.5.
