    Spot-Tailed Rasbora

    Origins:Southeast Asia, occuring on Malay Peninsula, Sumatra,and Borneo.
    Size: 4 & 3/4"
    Diet:Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 68-77F;soft (50 mg/l) and acidic (pH 6.0-6.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful and social.

    These rasboras are not significantly larger than Scissortail Rasboras, and their silvery body color also terminates in a deeply forked caudal fin that resembles a pair of scissors.
    Each lobe of the caudal fin has a colored area and ends in a dark tip. The slim body shape of these fish reveals their active nature. They can also jump effectively, which means that the aquarium or spawning tank should always be kept covered.

    Note>Dark band across body & Slightly pinkish dorsal fin.
