What to know before you buy.
Named for the scissoring action of its boldly marked tail. Grows larger than most rasboras and needs real swimming length; a calm, reliable dither fish for larger community tanks.
Keeping Scissortail Rasbora healthy in a South African setup.
A minimum 120L aquarium suits Scissortail Rasbora. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Keep pH 6–7.5 and 23–27°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Omnivore — flake, frozen foods. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Peaceful, active shoaler. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding success with Scissortail Rasbora depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
