Least Rasbora

The Least Rasbora (Boraras urophthalmoides), also commonly known as the Exclamation Point Rasbora, is a tiny, peaceful schooling fish perfect for nano tanks and planted aquariums. Their slender bodies feature a dark horizontal marking ending in a distinct spot near the tail, giving them their “exclamation point” nickname.

Least rasbora earn their name by staying small. so they are great for aquarium tanks with small aquarium shrimp. Growing to only around 3/4 inch, Least Rasboras are true micro fish and look their best when kept in a school of at least six. Larger groups will generally be more confident and display more natural schooling behavior. Their peaceful temperament also makes them excellent tank mates for fancy shrimp and other small, gentle species.
