About

Rasbora myersi is an attractively patterned schooling fish from Thailand and Indochina, featuring a gleaming silver body accented by a prominent dark lateral stripe and contrasting yellow-orange finnage. An active mid-water swimmer, it adapts easily to a wide range of community aquarium conditions and forms lively, cohesive schools. Its moderate size and hardiness make it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists seeking animated shoaling fish.

Care Guide

Keep in groups of at least 8 in a well-planted aquarium with open swimming areas. Provide gentle to moderate filtration with some flow. Feed high-quality flake, micro-pellets, and frozen or live foods such as daphnia and brine shrimp. Compatible with most peaceful community fish.
