Description
The Elegant Rasbora is a peaceful, schooling freshwater fish characterized by its silvery body and two prominent black spots: one mid-body and another at the base of the caudal fin. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives in well-planted aquariums with stable water conditions. They are an excellent choice for community tanks.
