    Harlequin Rasbora

    Origins:Southeast Asia, occuring in Thailand and Malaysia, and southward to the island of Sumatra.
    Size: 2"
    Diet:Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 73-77F;soft (50 mg/l) and acidic (pH 6.0-6.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful and social

    The long-standing aquarium favorite has been popular with hobbyists for nearly a century, which is why it is sometimes simply referred to as "the Rasbora." The dark, triangular-shaped marking on the rear part of the body, which tapers down the caudal peduncle to the base of the caudal fin, makes the Harlequin easy to recognize. Males are more colorful than females.
