Bright neon green and full of energy, the Green Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai) is one of the most eye-catching nano schooling fish for freshwater planted aquariums.

Why Choose Green Kubotai Rasboras?
Green Kubotai Rasboras stand out because of their vivid neon green coloration, which is uncommon among freshwater nano fish. In a planted aquarium, their color creates a glowing effect as the group swims through open areas and around plants.
They do best in groups, where they feel more secure and display more natural schooling behavior. A group of 8–10 or more is recommended for the best activity, color, and confidence.
Ideal Tank Setup
Green Kubotai Rasboras do best in a stable, fully cycled aquarium with live plants, gentle to moderate filtration, and open swimming space. Floating plants, moss, and dense plant areas can help them feel secure while still allowing room for schooling.
They are small fish, so avoid aggressive or large tankmates that may intimidate or eat them. A secure lid is also recommended because small active fish can jump.

Diet & Feeding
