Descripción de la especie
Pseudorasbora pumila, a member of the family Cyprinidae, is native to Japan. Its calm temperament and broad diet make it one of the more forgiving residents of a community tank. It uses the whole water column. Adults reach 9.4–13.8 cm. Small groups recommended. Stable water, regular partial changes and a varied diet cover nearly everything it needs. Maintain 5–22 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
