Description
The Harlequin Rasbora is a small, peaceful schooling fish recognized by its distinctive black, triangular patch on an iridescent, coppery-pink body. They are an excellent choice for community aquariums, thriving in planted tanks with soft, slightly acidic water. These active swimmers prefer to be kept in groups of 6 or more.
