    Redline Rasbora

    Origins:Southeast Asia, present on the Malay Peninsula and as far south as Sumatra.
    Size: 3"
    Diet:Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 73-77F;soft (50 mg/l) and acidic (pH 6.0-6.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful and social.

    The brilliant red stripe along each side of the body helps to sex these rasboras. When females swell with spawn, the stripe has a more curved appearance toward the rear of the body, but in the slimmer males it is always relatively straight. Compatibility between individuals can be an obstacle to successful breeding, but in a shoal sexes will be able to pair naturally; paired fish remain in close contact with one another.

    Note>Red stripe runs through eye
