Overview
For customers looking for a larger, highly active open-water swimmer, the Scissortail Rasbora is a brilliant option. They get their name from their unique, deeply forked tail fin, which features a striking black and white bar pattern. As they swim, they constantly open and close their tail in a distinct, rhythmic "scissor" motion. Their bodies are a sleek, shimmering silver-iridescent color. Because they are fast, energetic, and grow a bit larger than nano rasboras, they make excellent dither fish for bigger community setups alongside peaceful medium-sized tank mates.
