The Emerald Eye Rasbora or Rasbora dorsiocellata is a small freshwater fish that does well in community aquariums. This species of Rasbora only grows to about 2-1/2" (6cm), so this little guy only requires an aquarium of 10 gallons or more with the following water conditions, 73-79° F, KH 3-7 and pH 6.0-7.5.
The Emerald Eye Rasbora goes by a few different names including the Ocellated Rasbora, Hi-spot Rasbora, and Eyespot Rasbora. This species originates from inside Asia, and can be identified by its dorsal fin, which is yellow with a black spot near the center.
If you are thinking of buying a Emerald Eye Rasbora for your aquarium you might want to consider picking up a few. They do very well in schools and are an inexpensive fish, normally under $5. An aquarium with plenty of plants and space for swimming will work best. They are omnivores that can be fed bloodworms, tubifex and flake food as well.
