🐟 Emerald Eye Rasbora Brevibora dorsiocellata

The Emerald Eye Rasbora (Brevibora dorsiocellata) is a easy-care, peaceful species from Southeast Asia. Adults reach roughly 1.4", so plan on a minimum tank of 10 gallons. Keep the water between 72–80°F with a pH of 6–7.5. This is a schooling fish — keep a group of at least 6 so it feels secure and colors up. As an omnivore, it does best on a varied diet appropriate to its feeding style.
