Lambchop Rasbora (Trigonostigma espei)
The Lambchop Rasbora is a peaceful, colorful schooling fish named for the distinctive lamb chop-shaped black marking along its body. Native to Southeast Asia, this species displays beautiful copper-orange coloration that becomes even more vibrant in a well-planted aquarium.
Ideal for community aquariums, Lambchop Rasboras thrive in groups of six or more, where they exhibit natural schooling behavior and increased confidence. They are easy to care for and readily accept high-quality flakes, micro pellets, frozen foods, and live foods.
