Artübersicht

Rasbora caudimaculata is a Cyprinidae from Southeast Asia. Built for speed in clear streams — colour, condition and courage all track water quality. It uses the whole water column. Adults reach 7.5–11 cm. Shoaling; 8–10+ for constant motion and confidence. Cover the surface with floating plants, keep the school large, and maintain spotless water. Maintain 22–26 °C at pH 6.5–7. Best suited to a keeper who can match its natural water.
