Description
The Espei Rasbora is a small, schooling fish known for its striking coppery-orange body and a distinctive black 'lambchop' or 'arrowhead' marking. They are peaceful and thrive in planted aquariums, making them excellent additions to community tanks. These active swimmers prefer to be kept in groups of 6 or more.
