Badis Scarlet, also known as Dario dario, are a small freshwater fish species native to India, specifically in the Brahmaputra River basin. These fish are known for their bright red coloration and grow to be around 1-1.5 inches in length.
 
Caring for Badis Scarlet requires a well-maintained aquarium with a temperature range between 72-78°F and a pH level between 6.0-7.5. These fish are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish, but should be kept in a species-only tank to prevent aggression between males.
Badis Scarlet prefer a densely planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places, such as caves, driftwood, or plants. They prefer a substrate of sand or fine gravel and do well with a moderate water flow.
 
Badis Scarlet are carnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small pieces of meat or fish.
 
It's important to note that Badis Scarlet can be sensitive to poor water quality and changes in water conditions. Regular maintenance, including partial water changes and filter cleanings, is essential for their health and well-being.
