I really enjoyed this video. I have a 29 gallon that's been cycling for a few weeks. Thinking of putting some of them in there. That would be awesome. They're really beautiful. Thank you for showing them.
Have been longing for these (the neon green ones) for a long time, after seeing them on Aquarium Co-op channel. 😍 Asked several times at my usual LFS and no luck. But recently found a little store selling shrimp and some less common fish and they have a tank full. Bought my first 10 today, and aiming for a school of at least 20. 👍😁👍☺👍😃👍
Hiya Bob! I totally agree with you about emerald eyes being underrated. They school beautifully in my tank. I love them - I have at least a dozen or more. Expect an order from me for those neon blues! My harlequins, espeis, neon greens and emerald eyes need some of these neon blues to hang out with :) great species profiles!
@@SteenfottAquatics I have a big rasbora community tank project coming up soon now that work is slowing up for the season - there is a nice new tank sitting here ready to be built. Strawberry rasboras? Well now...may as well add those to the list as well! Take...my....money! :)
@@SteenfottAquatics yes! I have been wanting more for a while now, but my lfs hasnt been able to get any. I'm glad to see you do! You can expect an order from me soon 😊
I went and checked out your store...your out of pretty much everything...do you know when your going to get anymore of the neon rasboras?? I haven't been able to find any locally here in St Louis area
Do the Green Kubotai Rasbora eat the baby shrimp? Just wondering if it is worth testing them in a RCS breeding tank or if there is a decent chance I will lose my babies...?
@@isaiahmurray8153 Tetras are more fragile to parameter changes and diseases, and some of them are fin nippers. Rasboras are generally hardier and peaceful.
Never!! But I just got my first rasboras, pretty much by accident, so we'll see if they approach tetra quality :-) Next to the rasbora tank was an almost empty one with one, lone ember tetra baby. I bought him, too, because I felt so sorry for him all alone! He is now in quarantine with the rasboras, waiting to join my 8 embers. I'm happy to see him shoaling with the rasboras while he waits, and hope all 3 species will shoal... ember tetras, white cloud minnows, and these new rasboras.
The neon blue rasbora was described in the 70s as a rasbora, hence the name, but it isn't a rasbora... In fact the clue as to what species they belong to, is in the Latin name: SundaDANIO Axelrodi 😉
Green Kubotai are not a Rasbora! They are in the danio family. Breeding them was easy if you move them to a different tank every 3 or 4 days, or else they eat their fry.
I only have 5 green kubotai, started with 7 and 2 didn’t make it. I really want to breed them, any tips would be greatly appreciated. Was thinking of trying the method of placing a mesh screen on the bottom of the tank to capture the eggs/fry...
@@brennantrueba , as long as you have a male and a female they will breed once they’re mature, but they stick their eggs to the surfaces of plants and then the fry hatch and they pin themselves to the glass and other surfaces by their face somehow. They become easy pickings for adults. They trick is to put the adults into your breeding tank for 3 or 4 days then take them out. The fry take about 72 hours to hatch. This way the adults are gone by the time the fry hatch.
@@brennantrueba also, putting them in a breeding tank that has a lot of micro fauna for them to eat is really helpful! I had tossed a piece of boiled egg in my blue shrimp tank and it got lost and I missed it in cleaning up. The zebra isopods and random copepods went to town and were crawling all over the tank. When I added the MK’s to the tank the went nuts feasting. 8 Kubotai parents seems to have given me at least 70 fry (just what I could count) in that tank in just 4 days. Now seeing how many I can successfully get to survive to juvenile maturity is all up to me.
@@brennantrueba Tank parameters at the time of introduction; pH 6.8, gH 7, kH 4.5, Nitrate 25ppm, because the tank is well planted. TDS 200 approximately. Because of the blue cherry shrimp. No heater, because of a stable room temp of about 20 to 22 Celsius.
Hope you all enjoy the video, be sure to check these out on the website.

These fish should be way more popular. Let’s hope you contribute to that.

Nice 😁
Pretty pretty fish, both the green and blue.
👍💕👍
Just got some of these blue neon rasboras along with some chili rasboras. They are awesome!
Thanks for sharing

I really loving rasboras lately =) I got some tiny Strawberry Rasboras that are coloring up really nice.

Amazing video made my day
How big do the green rasbora grow to? Size ?same as the blue ?
Greens are considerably larger. They are bigger bodied as well. More like Neon Tetras.
Steenfott Aquatics thank you 🙏
I need a nano tank again. Great video bob!
Will they school with the emerald eyes?
Beautiful.
Uhh they're great 👍 my store never had them in stock. The colour is awesome 💚
I need them all!🐠
Ooo they'd make a great addition, but I've had to downsize and have limited tank space that I'm saving for some clown killi i have my eye on lol
Clown Killis are great fish too =)

So cool! Idk they are from my parent’s home country!
Any pet stores to recommend getting some low price rasboras?👋👋👋
i have 3 with green neon tetra and ember tetra i will make video soon so check it out!:) also some cobra and endler guppies💚💙🧡
Kubotai are so hard to find in local stores
Will they school together? Like 10 blue and 10 green? 🤷🏼♀️
Do you happen to know if different Rasboras will school together such as green/galaxy or blue/green or all three?
Do the Green Kubotai Rasbora eat the baby shrimp? Just wondering if it is worth testing them in a RCS breeding tank or if there is a decent chance I will lose my babies...?
Yes they hunt the baby shrimplets, have enough cover for the shrimp of you want to keep them together.
There are more available tank bred now…
The price man!! Green neons look the best they pop better
Okay, from now on, I love rasboras more than tetras!
Why?
