Scissortail Rasbora

Remarks: Scissortail Rasboras (Rasbora trilineata) have long, torpedo-shaped bodies, pointed snouts, and a black and white striped caudal fin. They do best in schools of 6 or more. When fully grown, they are large enough to be housed with small to medium sized Barbs, Tetras, and some peaceful cichlids.

They are adaptable and can handle a very wide range of water conditions. They look great under low-light or blackwater conditions, as their golden stripe pops brilliantly. Tank decor include any plants, driftwood, and custom decorations of your choosing - they prefer having something to swim around or through.
