    Long-Band Rasbora

    Origins:Southeast Asia, occuring in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo.
    Size: 4"
    Diet: Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 72-77F;soft (50mg/l) and acidic (pH 6.0-6.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful and social.

    The dark stripe along the midline of this rasbora extends from the mouth all the way through to the caudal fin. It is broader in males, which have a purplish cast to the body and a hint of red on the dorsal fin; this coloration is most obvious when they are in top condition. Females, in contrast, are a more greenish shade. A spawning tank for these fish needs a concentration of fine-leaved plants at one end in which eggs can be laid.
