Scissortail Rasbora

The Scissortail has a sleek and slender body and is known for its deeply forked tail. They have a shiny iridescent silver skin with a horizontal black line running the length of the body, from the gills down to the tail. Its distinctive forked tail fin moves in an open and close motion, resembling a pair of scissors, hence the common name scissortail. The fin also has black and yellow bands with a white tip. This unique coloring on the fin has led to another common name for this fish, the Three Lined Rasbora.
