The Black Tiger Badis (Dario lourii) is a captivating, small fish native to the freshwater streams of India. Known for its striking black and orange coloration, it thrives in well-planted aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water, a temperature of 72–78°F, and a pH of 6.0–7.5. These peaceful fish are best kept singly or in pairs, as they can be territorial. A diet of live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, and small worms will help bring out their vivid colors and keep them healthy! |
