The Strawberry Rasbora looks similar to the Chili Rasboras but can be identified by the much more dominant black spot on its side. This distinctive marking is more prominent on the female Strawberry Rasbora. Many Boraras (micro rasboras) are coming into the market, often all sold under the same or similar name. It can be easy to misidentify one of these nano fish, and they do share the vibrant red of other Rasboras. Much like other Rasboras, the Strawberry Rasbora is a peaceful nano schooling fish.
