Red Cherry Rasbora
Rasbora lacrimula
Rasbora lacrimula is a small, peaceful freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in blackwater streams of Borneo. This species thrives in acidic, tannin-rich waters and features a slender, silvery body with a distinctive dark stripe running along its length. Preferring to be in schools, it requires a well-planted aquarium with soft lighting. As an omnivore, it feeds on small invertebrates and plant matter. Ideal for community tanks, Rasbora lacrimula adds subtle beauty to any setup.
