Harlequin Rasbora

Facts and Information

harlequin rasbora

This is one of the more popular Rasboras and very commonly available in the hobby. Many people often mistake it for a tetra, but it is a member of the cyprinid family, which all have two barbs on the sides of the upper lip. While they are small, if you look close, you will see the thin barbs on its mouth as it turns in the water. It grows to two inches and is very subtly colored. The genus name "Rasbora" comes from an Indian word meaning "fish".
