I came across these guys at my LFS a couple of years ago and immediately went into impulse buy mode. I bought 10 and got 2 for free and still have all 12 in a 40 gallon breeder with a pearl gourami and a small school of zebra loaches. Absolutely one of my favorite fish in the hobby.
Through my experience keeping Rummy Nose Tetras schooling behaviour is best observed when they are introduced to a new environment. After they have explored every inch of your aquarium and feel comfortable and no threat from other inhabitants they will slowly change to shoaling behaviour but still in tight school half of the time or when felt threatened. In the wild there's always a high possibilities of threat and always swim in a very tight schooling. Just sharing my thoughts of fish behaviour in aquarium compared in the wild 😁
Love them! We have a school of 14 or so in a 45 tall with about 20 neons and 8 diamonds. They are a nice green flash in a mostly tetra tank. The maintenance on this over stocked tank is well worth it. Super funny little dudes.
@PrimeTimeAquatics I'm in Alabama right now! Got to visit Aquatic Cove here in Alabama. Can't wait till I can get back home, So I can see my aquariums😁
Noticed the tanks on the dresser. I just put out a video about a week ago where my kids 10 gal (that was only a year old) had a seal fail, on top of their dresser....lots of laundry had to be done lol
They are an incredible fish. Been keeping them for a long time with angelfish, pearl guaramis,neons,Cory's and bolivian rams in a 55. Heads up, don't ever try to catch one after you put one in by mistake, just go ahead and add more to have a group to fix it.
They're that fast? I have given up catching fish so many times... Not wanting to tear stuff apart, eh, leave em. Then after the second attempt, they are wise to the situation so no way.
My red tail (leo) just passed away who lived for 10 years. He was a trooper as when I first got him my filter broke and caused my tank to look like a tank in finding Nemo with only one other Rasbora, who didn't make it . He lived through that for about a year and a half and lived for 10 to 11 years. Passing away this week due to an infection :( i got him 2 other buddies when i finally cleaned that tank and and he lived for so long, I'm grateful he saw a better day and i cant believe he did for this long
What is the Latin name for these fish? Love them but I’m seeing conflicting common names referring to different fish when I looked them up to order some online. Love your videos!
Are these different than regular brilliant rasbora? I'm having a hard time finding them online or much info specifically for brilliant "green" rasbora.
These are Rasbora Borapetensis. There are multiple Rasboras called "Brilliant Rasbora". R Borapetensis are also called "Red Tail Rasbora" and "Blackline Rasbora". Note that the Blackline starts Behind the Eye. R E usually has the Line start at the Nose. The
I have 9 of these little guys along with 12 Neon Tetras, 11 Khuli loachs, 1 clown pleco, 4 Otos in a 55gal. Fully planted, blackwater conditions, though I haven't gotten the water to tint yet. However, they are very shy. They just kinda hover in the middle lower of the tank near the plants. They rarely stray far. I'm not sure how to get them to be more active. Concerned about overstocking.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Do you think it would be safe to add more Rasbora? Would more make them more brave to wander around the tank? They seem rather shy. The tetras are far more adventurous.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thank you , need some more of your knowledge lol , would you rather the brilliant green rasbora or emperor tetra ? in the same tank as congo tetras and the electric blue acara . I'm so undecided lol
How do you keep nitrates below 20? I got same size tank with less fish and I’m using a couple of pothos plants but my nitrates are like between 20 to 40 the next day or two days after I change water.
Sexy fish, did you buy that many to start or have they been breeding? Is that number, 20, a good place to start or can you get away with two females and a male?

That’s cool!
They are gorgeous! I think they're very under rated, like white clouds. Ya'll have a great weekend.
👍❤👍
You too!
These might be my new favorite rasbora! Guess i will have to go back to your poll from a few weeks ago
Too funny 😀

They remind me of White Clouds a bit in appearance, except with lots of green. Really cool video.
They remind me of my white clouds! So pretty, but I have hard water, and so I choose fish that are happier with that.
These are such a pretty fish! Their tail really draws the eye.
Excellent species profile for a cool little fish. Definitely added to my wanted, perfect for my water parameters 👌
Great video! Impressive fish - love the strip with the color! Concerned about shrimp with them - new subscriber - love your channel
Thanks for being here!
Oh my God!!!!! They are SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!! Stunning 🤩😍🫶🏼 Thank your for sharing, professor !
These fish are so MODEST and HUMBLE about their IMMENSE INTENSE beauty
Those are beautiful and they look awesome with the greenery of all the plants. Im such a big fan of seeing larger schools/shoals too in aquariums🙌🏻👍.

Thus tank looks beautiful so relaxed and chill and beautiful layout
Very beautiful fish and tank! Now I have 842 fish on my list to get, so many fish so little time.
Woohoo!
Lovely fish and set up! Though they are rasbora borapetensis, not einthovenii.
Love your channel!
Happy Friday the 13Th :) picking up a new fish tank this weekend 36 gallon bow front and stand
Have fun!!
What a beautiful little fish.
@PrimeTimeAquatics I'm in Alabama right now! Got to visit Aquatic Cove here in Alabama. Can't wait till I can get back home, So I can see my aquariums😁
Wow I’ve never seen these before there beautiful I might have to get them some day.
They're gorgeous!! ❤❤

That stinks!
Those are some gorgeous fish. :D
They could give rummy nose a run for their money.
Both are great!

Good point! They are crazy fast!
I've never kept these guys, they look really cool though! 💚
Every time I see these in the store I wonder why they’re not more popular. Very cool fish!
I agree!

That's cool he lived for so long though. Sorry he passed.
@Prime Time Aquatics thanks dude :( I just wish I can have another fish like him :(
Love them. Now to find them in southern Illinois lol
What is the Latin name for these fish? Love them but I’m seeing conflicting common names referring to different fish when I looked them up to order some online. Love your videos!
they look awesome
I bought this fish several years ago, but I am confused between rasbora einthovenii and rasbora borapetensis. Are these closely related?
These Are R B, NOT R E.
I have a few R B left in my Tank that are now about 2.5 years old.
Are these different than regular brilliant rasbora? I'm having a hard time finding them online or much info specifically for brilliant "green" rasbora.
I'm not sure - it could just be a labeling thing.

R Borapetensis are also called "Red Tail Rasbora" and "Blackline Rasbora". Note that the Blackline starts Behind the Eye.

They kinda look like white clouds.
Good Morning.
Good morning!
Would they be ok In a 55G with a 4” red spot severum ? I really like these 🐠
They would have to be full grown. Could get eaten when smaller.
Please consider to add centimeter measure.
I live in Indonesia, not familiar with US measure.
Thank you
I was thinking of like balla sharks I think they are called ? 36 gallon going all out this time with cannisters filters and co2 stuff lots of plants
Bala sharks should be kept in groups in at least an 8ft tank. I had some in a 150 gallon and it was too small long term.
Putting together a 90 gallon tank with angelfish and a schooling fish. Think this would be a good tank mate with angels?
Yes!

That’s a good stocking amount!

So as far as length these are close to apistogrammas and rams?
Yep - about the same
I plan to get like 300. I pick them up for free here.
Is this the "Brilliant Rasbora" or the "Brilliant Green Rasbora"? Most people I asked seem to think there's no "green" in its name.
can you put this fish with an electric blue acara ?
They should work just fine together provided that the rasboras aren’t tiny at first.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thank you , need some more of your knowledge lol , would you rather the brilliant green rasbora or emperor tetra ? in the same tank as congo tetras and the electric blue acara . I'm so undecided lol

Mostly weekly water changes.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics ok thanks
Would kribensis work
For sure!
unrelated but are cherry barbs and zebra danios safe with a plakat betta
Is trust the cherry barbs more.
I want these where can I find them
Most fish stores have them.
they look a lot like white cloud mountain minnows; hmmm.
Rasbora Borapetensis these grow to about 2 - 2.5 inches, so 2 to 3 times larger than White Clouds in overall size.
Is that a betta in the tank?
No, I have a thick lip gourami in there though.
Can’t watch or I’ll be going to LFS,o well gues I’m going anyway!
Sexy fish, did you buy that many to start or have they been breeding? Is that number, 20, a good place to start or can you get away with two females and a male?
I bought that many fun the start.
If my children grow up to be half as beautiful as your beard, I'll be a happy man!....lol
Haha - too funny! 😀
Don't tell me your about to make me want to scape a tank for some hmm🥸🤟💛
Probably - haha
