I recently purchased 10 Neon Green Rasboras (Microdevario Kubotai) and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! These little mosquito rasboras are not just stunning with their vibrant green hue; they also have such charming personalities. After about two weeks of acclimation, I noticed them darting around my 20-gallon tank, exploring every nook and cranny. Their playful behavior is delightful to watch!
I feed them a varied diet that includes high-quality flake food and occasional live food, and they absolutely thrive on it. I’ve observed their energy levels increase, and it’s clear they’re happy! Compared to other rasboras I’ve kept, these have a unique flair that adds a pop of color and activity.
One minor concern was they were a bit shy initially, but after a week, they became much more comfortable. I think a tank with plenty of plants and hiding spots really helps. I highly recommend these little cuties for any community tank, especially for those looking to add a lively, yet peaceful species. They are perfect for both newbies and seasoned aquarists. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future!
