The Scarlet Badis (Dario dario) is one of the most visually captivating nano fish in our collection. With their stunning combination of vivid red hues complemented by delicate hints of gold, these fish are sure to add a dazzling touch to your aquatic masterpiece.

Scarlet Badis thrive in an environment rich in vegetation and adorned with various decorations, providing ample hiding spots for these mesmerizing creatures. They possess a natural affinity for hunting microorganisms, making them an intriguing species to observe in action.

For your peace of mind, all our fish shipments are accompanied by a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when opting for our Overnight (1 Day) shipping option. Please note that selecting any other shipping option voids our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish.

Due to their somewhat aggressive nature and selective appetite, it is advisable to house Scarlet Badis in a dedicated aquarium. However, some aquarists have reported success in cohabitating them with compatible fish, such as the Spotted Rasbora.

To cater to their specific dietary requirements, we meticulously feed our Scarlet Badis a nourishing blend of frozen baby brine shrimp, cyclops, and daphnia. These fish can be finicky eaters, so it's crucial to observe their feeding habits closely to ensure they are consuming their food. Live foods are also highly recommended as an enticing option to entice these beautiful creatures.

Elevate the visual allure of your nano aquarium with the breathtaking Scarlet Badis. Watch as their radiant colors shimmer and reflect in the water, creating a captivating display that is sure to mesmerize both novice and experienced aquarists alike. Secure your Scarlet Badis today and experience the joy of hosting these magnificent fish in your aquatic sanctuary!
