🐟 Lambchop Rasbora Trigonostigma espei

The Lambchop Rasbora (Trigonostigma espei) is a easy-care, peaceful species from Thailand and Cambodia. Adults reach roughly 1.2", so plan on a minimum tank of 10 gallons. Keep the water between 73–82°F with a pH of 6–7. This is a schooling fish — keep a group of at least 8 so it feels secure and colors up. As an omnivore, it does best on a varied diet appropriate to its feeding style.
