prettiest Badis badis...

[WhistlingBadger]

I've kept scarlet badis in a 5 gallon tank. They're really fun fish. One of them died of a fungal infection; I suspect I had two males and there was some fighting going on when I wasn't looking. When I tore down the 5g I put the remaining male in the 55g hillstream tank. He hangs out in the calm areas and I see him once in a while.

I have a group of female and male scarlet badis in a 40 gallon for the past 4 years. They breed regularly and are a great little fish with interesting behaviors. Unfortunately, I added 6 Asian Stone Catfish a year ago and they reguarly eat all the badis eggs now. Just saw some fry this week, which hasn't happened in a year.
