The Kubotai Rasbora, scientifically known as Microdevario kubotai, is a small, vibrant freshwater fish belonging to the Cyprinidae family. Native to the clear, fast-flowing streams of Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and Myanmar, this species is prized for its bright, neon green-yellow coloration that shimmers under aquarium lighting. Kubotai Rasboras are a popular choice among aquarists looking to add a splash of color to their tanks. These fish typically grow to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length and can live for 3-5 years in captivity when provided with proper care.

Habitat and Tank Requirements:

In their natural habitat, Kubotai Rasboras are found in clear, fast-moving waters that are well-oxygenated and rich in vegetation. The water in these environments is usually soft and slightly acidic. To replicate these conditions in a home aquarium, it’s important to provide a tank with suitable water parameters and an environment that mimics their natural setting.

Tank Size and Water Parameters:

PARAMETER RECOMMENDED
Tank Size Minimum 40 litres
Temperature 72-79°F (22-26°C)
pH 6.0-7.5
Hardness Soft to moderately hard water, 2-10 dGH

This table provides the optimal water conditions for keeping Kubotai Rasboras healthy and displaying their vibrant colors. These fish thrive in well-maintained tanks with stable water parameters, mimicking the conditions of their natural habitat.

Kubotai Rasboras thrive in tanks with a soft, fine-grained substrate, such as sand or smooth gravel, which helps mimic the natural stream beds they are accustomed to. The tank should be well-planted with live plants to provide ample hiding spots and create a sense of security for these small fish. A moderate water flow, created by a gentle filter, is recommended to simulate the flowing streams of their natural habitat. The water should be well-oxygenated, and regular water changes are essential to keep the environment clean and stable.

We Recommend:

These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.

Behavior and Compatibility:

Kubotai Rasboras are peaceful, schooling fish that do best when kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals. They are known for their active and social nature, often swimming together in the mid to upper levels of the tank. These fish are excellent companions in community tanks, coexisting well with other small, peaceful species such as tetras, rasboras, and small catfish. They should not be housed with larger or more aggressive species that could stress or prey on them. When kept in a well-planted and properly maintained tank, Kubotai Rasboras will exhibit their best colors and natural behaviors, making them a delightful addition to any aquarium.
