Brilliant Rasbora

A slimmer, more streamlined build than the deeper-bodied harlequin rasbora most people picture, with a shimmering silver flank that catches light cleanly rather than relying on a bold color patch. It fills a similar community-tank role to the harlequin without duplicating the look, useful if you're stocking a tank that already has one rasbora species and want a second without visual overlap. Peaceful, easy, and happiest in a real group.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/micro-pellet
