Rasbora notura is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Rasbora from the Terengganu River system in Malaysia.
Rasbora is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China. A single species, R. gerlachi, is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (Cameroon), but this locality is considered doubtful. They are small, up to 17 cm (6.7 in) long, although most species do not surpass 10 cm (4 in) and many have a dark horizontal stripe.
The harlequin rasbora is a small fish in the family Cyprinidae. The species became an instant favorite among aquarists after its introduction in the early 1900s and is the best known and most widely kept species among the rasboras. In 1935, an image of a trio of harlequin rasboras, stamped in 14k gold, would grace the cover of the first edition of William T. Innes's classic Exotic Aquarium Fishes and would remain so through all 19 editions.
Scissortail rasbora is a name used for several Asian freshwater fish that sometimes are seen in the aquarium trade:
The blackline rasbora is a fish of the family Cyprinidae found in Asia in the Mekong, Chao Phraya, and Mae Klong basins, and also the northern Malay Peninsula. In the aquarium trade, it is known by a variety of other names, including red-tailed rasbora, bora bora rasbora, and brilliant rasbora.
The eyespot rasbora is a small fish belonging to the Family Cyprinidae, subfamily Danioninae, which is known by the common names of ocellated rasbora, hi-spot rasbora, and eye-spot rasbora, an allusion to the marking situated upon the dorsal fin. This small fish is a popular aquarium fish, having been one of the species featured in the landmark textbook Exotic Aquarium Fishes by Dr William T. Innes. Its appearance in this work only occurs in later editions of the book, however, therefore the species is not subject to the same degree of aquarium domestication as the more familiar harlequin rasbora.
The greater scissortail is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It inhabits forest creeks in Malaysia, Indonesia and the lower Mekong basin.
The black-line rasbora or slender rasbora, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus cyprinid family. It is found in rivers of South and Southeast Asia, ranging from Sri Lanka and the Indus basin to northern the Malay Peninsula and the Mekong.
The brilliant rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It is found in the Malay Peninsula and in Borneo. Adults can grow up to 5 cm
The Kalbar rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It is known from forest streams and clear black waters of western Borneo. It grows to a length of 2.5 cm (0.98 in) SL.
The clown rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora.
The yellow rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora from Southeast Asia. It is a primarily freshwater fish originally from Java island in Indonesia. It is known as the Wader pari fish in the Indonesian language. In addition, it was a protein source for the local community during the old days.
The copperstripe rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora from Sumatra, Indonesia.
Mindanao rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora endemic to Mindanao, Philippines.
The Gangetic scissortail rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora.
Rasbora trilineata is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. Common names include scissortail rasbora and three-lined rasbora. It comes from Southeast Asia. Its length is up to 15 cm (6").
Rasbora vulcanus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora native to Sumatra.
Boraras brigittae is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Boraras, also known as chili rasboras or mosquito rasboras, are a very small species of fishes native to the swamps of South West Borneo, Indonesia.
Rasbora armitagei, also known as Armitagei's rasbora or Armitagei’s striped rasbora, is a minnow endemic to Sri Lanka. The fish was discovered from a small tributary of Kalu Ganga at Rakwana, South-Western Wet zone, Sri Lanka. This species is named after naturalist David Armitage.
The danionins are a group of small, minnow-type fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. Species of this group are in the genera clades Danio and Devario, based on the latest phylo-genetic research by Fang et al in 2009. They are primarily native to the fresh waters of South and Southeast Asia, with fewer species in Africa. Many species are brightly coloured and are available as aquarium fish worldwide. Fishes of the danio clade tend to have horizontal stripes, rows of spots, or vertical bars, and often have long barbels. Species within the devario clade tend to have vertical or horizontal bars, and short, rudimentary barbels, if present at all. All danionins are egg scatterers, and breed in the rainy season in the wild. They are carnivores, living on insects and small crustaceans.
