Native to slow-moving streams and tributaries in India, this tiny species thrives in well-planted aquariums with lots of hiding spots and a gentle flow. Males boast brilliant scarlet stripes and fin extensions, while females remain more subdued in color and slightly smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"701\" class=\"\"\u003eDespite their small size, Scarlet Badis are territorial—especially males—so it’s best to keep one male per tank unless the space is heavily planted and includes visual barriers.
