Neon Green Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai)

Quarantined nano rasbora for planted and community aquariums in Canada.

The Neon Green Rasbora, also called Kubotai Rasbora, is a brilliant small schooling fish known for its glowing green body colour and active movement. It is one of the best nano fish for planted aquariums because the colour contrasts strongly against plants and dark backgrounds.

Why This Fish Stands Out

• Bright neon-green colour with excellent planted-tank contrast
• Small active schooling fish for nano and community aquariums
• Great visual movement without becoming a large fish

Aquarium Setup & Behaviour

Provide a mature aquarium with plants, open swimming space, gentle-to-moderate flow, and a secure lid. They are small but active and should be given room to move.

Keep in a group for best confidence and colour. Single fish are more likely to hide and show weaker schooling behaviour.

Feeding

Offer small flakes, micro-pellets, and frozen/live micro foods. Small frequent feeding works well.

Natural Colour & Livestock Integrity

Colour comes from genetics, maturity, health, and proper conditioning. Topick Aquarium does not use hormones to artificially enhance fish colour.

Topick Aquarium Livestock Standard

All fish at Topick Aquarium are carefully quarantined and conditioned to our stable local tap water before sale. Although barbs and rasboras may come from different natural habitats, stable water, gradual acclimation, healthy feeding, and a mature aquarium matter more than chasing exact wild parameters.
