OVERVIEW

The Harlequin Rasbora is a native of Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, and  southern Thailand. It inhabits streams and waters that are characterized  principally by their low mineral content and high concentrations of  dissolved humic acids, which is typical of water that flows through  swamped forests.

The Harlequin Rasbora is one of the most popular rasboras. Often referred to  as red rasbora, the body is a reddish-copper color that is accented  by a striking black wedge covering the rear half of the body. The  distinguishing triangular patch begins near the dorsal fin and comes to a  point near the base of the caudal fin.

Scientific Name: Trigonostigma heteromorpha
