Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
Emerald Dwarf Rasboras, also called Emerald Dwarf Danios, are Danio erythromicron. They are distinct from Green Kubotai Rasboras and show blue-green coloration with dark vertical barring rather than a solid neon-green body.
They do best in a mature planted aquarium with stable, moderately hard to alkaline water and a proper social group.
Care Notes
Keep the aquarium mature and stable, with plant cover and moderate open swimming space. Avoid keeping this species too warm long term.
Feed micro pellets, baby brine shrimp, microworms, and finely crushed flake in small portions.

Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Fish
01
Distinctive Vertical Barring
Blue-green bodies with dark bars and warm fin color make this species easy to distinguish from Kubotai Rasboras.
02
Excellent Planted-Tank Fish
They appreciate mature aquariums with plant cover and open swimming space.
03
Generally Adult-Shrimp Compatible
Adult shrimp are usually ignored, though very small shrimplets may still be at risk.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These nano fish coexist well with shrimp and other peaceful invertebrates.
Keep at least 10 in a planted 10-gallon or larger aquarium. A 20-gallon long is excellent for a larger group. Keep the water stable, avoid overheating, and feed appropriately small foods.

Common Questions
Emerald Dwarf Rasbora FAQ
Is the Emerald Dwarf Rasbora the same as a Green Kubotai Rasbora?+
No. Emerald Dwarf Rasboras are Danio erythromicron. Green Kubotai Rasboras are Microdevario kubotai.
What water do Emerald Dwarf Rasboras prefer?+
They do best in stable water around 68–75°F with a pH near 7.0–8.0.
How are Emerald Dwarf Rasboras shipped?+
Fish ship Monday through Wednesday via Overnight / Next Day Air and typically arrive Tuesday through Thursday.
How many Emerald Dwarf Rasboras should I keep?+
We recommend at least 10 for more confident, natural social behavior.
Are Emerald Dwarf Rasboras safe with shrimp?+
They are generally safe with adult shrimp, but very small shrimplets may still be eaten.
Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.
