The Green Kubotai Rasbora (Microdevario kubotai) is one of the most vibrant nano fish available, known for its glowing neon green coloration and constant active movement. Perfect for planted aquariums, these peaceful schooling fish thrive in groups and create a stunning, high-energy display in any aquascape. If you're looking for a shrimp-safe, beginner-friendly nano fish, the Kubotai Rasbora is an excellent choice.
Green Kubotai Rasboras are peaceful schooling fish that thrive in calm, well planted community aquariums. Choosing compatible tank mates will help them feel secure and display their brightest coloration.
For best results, keep Green Kubotai Rasboras in groups of 6 or more with other peaceful nano fish. A densely planted aquarium will help them feel secure and encourage tight schooling behavior. In well-established planted tanks, these fish will display their brightest neon coloration and tight schooling behavior.

Green Kubotai Rasboras do best when introduced into a well-established aquarium, allowing them time to settle and display their full coloration. Once acclimated, they actively school through the mid-water levels, feeding on fine flakes, micro pellets, and small live or frozen foods. What sets them apart is their intense metallic green glow, which stands out dramatically against lush aquatic plants. They are best added to planted or nano aquariums with stable water parameters, gentle filtration, and peaceful tank mates, where their natural behavior and coloration can be fully appreciated.
