Strawberry Rasboras are tiny red rockets that turn any nano tank into a living glitter cloud. These little dudes stay micro, stay peaceful, and stay stunning —

 

🌿 WHY THEY SLAP IN A NANO

  • Micro size (0.6–0.8")

  • Peaceful, shrimp-safe

  • Tight schooling behavior

  • Low bioload

  • Perfect for 5–20 gallon planted displays

  •  

They’re the kind of fish that make people stop mid-scroll and go, “Yo… what ARE those?”

 

 

 

This line has been, properly quarantined, and coloring up hard. No washed-out imports. No mystery batches. Just clean, confident, ruby-toned swimmers ready to flex in your planted tank.

 

Deficient (IUCN 3.1)

The Strawberry Rasbora is formally described as Boraras naevus Conway & Kottelat, 2011. Multiple authoritative sources confirm its IUCN Red List status as Data Deficient, meaning there isn’t enough population or habitat data to determine its risk level — though habitat conversion in Thailand (swamps → rice paddies) is noted as a concern.
