Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Ember Tetra: 24.0–28.0 °C
Dwarf Rasbora: 24.0–26.0 °C
Shared window: 24.0–26.0°C.
pH overlap
Ember Tetra: 6.0–7.0
Dwarf Rasbora: 5.0–6.0
Shared window: 6.0–6.0.
Hardness overlap
Ember Tetra: Very soft → Soft
Dwarf Rasbora: Very soft → Soft
Shared hardness bands: 2 (overlap ratio 100%).
Flow match
Ember Tetra: Medium
Dwarf Rasbora: Low
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 1.25x
Adult size gap is under 2.0x, which is usually a safer ratio.
Behaviour risk
- - Both species are generally peaceful; behaviour conflict risk is low.
