A small freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Sporting a vibrant orange-red colouration with black spots on its body, Rasbora maculata adds a splash of colour to any tank. It prefers densely planted aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water conditions. Its small size and peaceful demeanour make it a favourite choice for nano aquarium enthusiasts.
