Scarlet Badis and Red Badis refer to Dario dario, a member of Badidae rather than Cichlidae. Mature reference females lack the strong male red and blue flank pigment. The supplier 2.5-3 cm grade does not specify sex composition; the published 20 mm standard length excludes the tail.
Guidance gives 18-26 C and pH 6.5-8.5. Provide mature filtered housing with dense sheltered planting and soft substrate. Offer tiny live or frozen foods and check every fish eats; specialist advice excludes bloodworm and Tubifex. Choose small peaceful companions carefully and separate rival male territories. Confirm breeder water and food acceptance before transfer.
