The Green Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai) is a captivating freshwater fish, celebrated for its dazzling neon green hue that stands out in any aquarium. Originating from the slow-moving streams and rivers of Thailand and Myanmar, these small fish grow to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length, making them perfect for smaller tanks or nano setups. They are peaceful and highly sociable, thriving best in groups of six or more, where their shimmering green bodies create a lively and dynamic display.
Ideal for community tanks, the Green Kubotai Rasbora is compatible with other peaceful species and appreciates a well-planted environment. This not only provides them with plenty of hiding spots but also brings out their vivid coloration. Their energetic swimming patterns and bright colors add a vibrant touch to any aquatic landscape.
For those looking to keep Green Kubotai Rasboras, maintaining the right water parameters is essential. They prefer a temperature range of 68-78°F (20-26°C) and a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, with soft to moderately hard water (1-10 dGH). A well-maintained tank with regular water changes will help keep these rasboras healthy and active. Moderate to bright lighting enhances their natural neon green color, making them a true focal point in any setup.
In terms of diet, Green Kubotai Rasboras are omnivorous and are best fed a varied diet that includes high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, or bloodworms.
