Exclamation Point Rasbora

Boraras urophthalmoides

Exclamation Point Rasbora (Boraras urophthalmoides) is a schooling community species for a cycled 10+ gallon freshwater aquarium. Plan for about 0.7 inches as an adult, 72-80°F water, pH 6-7.5, and beginner-friendly care. Keep a group of at least 10; larger groups often behave more naturally when the tank has room.
