Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai)
Native to the freshwater streams and floodplains of Myanmar and Thailand, the Kubotai Rasbora is a true gem of the aquarium trade. Their metallic lime-green bodies shimmer under aquarium lighting, especially when kept in large groups. As a member of the microrasbora family, they are small, peaceful, and perfectly suited for aquascapes and community aquariums.
Green kubotai rasboras remain small, reaching only 0.75–1 inch (2–2.5 cm) at adulthood. Despite their size, they are highly visible thanks to their striking neon-green coloration, which appears to glow under LED lighting. Their petite size makes them one of the most sought-after small fish for community tanks.

These fish are absolutely stunning. The neon green color really pops in my tank under LED lights. I kept them in a group of six and they swim together in a synchronized pattern. Very active and calm, they don’t stress other fish. Easy to care for and a great addition to a small community tank.

I was impressed by how vibrant the green coloration is, especially in the evening light. They’re small but very noticeable. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still healthy and active. Just make sure to keep them in a group to avoid stress.

Perfect for a beginner aquarist. The fish are peaceful, easy to maintain, and add a lot of visual appeal. I love the way they move in the background of my planted tank. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a colorful, low-maintenance fish.
