Emerald Dwarf Rasbora (Microrasbora erythromicron)

Emerald Dwarf Rasbora — Florida Hobbyist ‑Bred 

Tiny • Electric • Schooling Showpieces

These Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are the micro‑fish that punch way above their size — shimmering green bodies, neon orange accents, and that tight, synchronized schooling that makes a tank look alive.

Florida Hobbyist‑bred means you’re getting thicker bodies, sharper color, and zero import weirdness. These aren’t the washed‑out, skittish versions you see online. These are Shed‑level micro rockets — confident, curious, and already glowing.

⚡ Why These Hit the Shed Standard

• Florida local bred = stronger, cleaner, more consistent color

• Micro‑schooling behavior that brings instant movement

• Peaceful, fast, and fun — perfect for planted tanks

• Chunky for their size, not the skinny imported type

These fish don’t just swim — they spark, they flash, they move like a single organism when the squad gets going.

Sourced from a trusted Florida breeder, these come in:

• Thick and healthy

If it doesn’t meet the Uncle Joe’s standard, it doesn’t ship.

Conservation Status — Emerald Dwarf Rasbora (Microrasbora erythromicron)

IUCN Red List: Near Threatened (NT) Wild populations face pressure from: • Habitat loss • Water quality decline • Localized over‑collection • Limited natural range

This species is vulnerable because it comes from small, isolated habitats that are easily disrupted. Protecting wild populations means reducing demand for wild‑caught fish and supporting sustainable, captive‑bred lines.

Why Uncle Joe’s Fish Shed Matters

• Local breeders, not wild harvesting • Stronger, healthier captive lines • Reduced pressure on fragile ecosystems • Ethical, transparent sourcing • A hobby built on conservation, not extraction

Buying from UJS means you’re choosing fish that are better for your tank AND better for the wild — keeping the hobby sustainable for the long run.
