Kubotai Rasbora

Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai)

The Kubotai Rasbora, often referred to as the Neon Green Rasbora, is a dazzling nano fish prized for its brilliant fluorescent green coloration and energetic schooling behavior. Native to the clear streams and waterways of Thailand and Myanmar, this tiny species stands out in planted aquariums with its vibrant coloration and constant activity.

Known for their peaceful temperament and social nature, Kubotai Rasboras thrive when kept in groups of eight or more. They are most comfortable in heavily planted aquariums with open swimming areas, gentle water flow, and subdued lighting that enhances their striking neon-green appearance. Their active schooling behavior creates a stunning visual display as they move together through the aquarium.

Kubotai Rasboras are hardy, easy to care for, and highly compatible with other small, peaceful fish and invertebrates. Their small size makes them an excellent choice for nano aquariums, while their vivid coloration adds a unique splash of color rarely seen in freshwater fish. Their combination of beauty, activity, and peaceful nature has made them increasingly popular among aquascaping enthusiasts and community aquarium keepers.
