Rasbora patrickyapi

Rasbora patrickyapi is a Bornean rasbora described from the peat-swamp blackwaters of Central Kalimantan. The original scientific description records a dark side stripe edged above by a pale stripe, with violet sheen and reddish fins. These are species-description features, not a promise of the exact colour of the fish received.

FishBase records 5.7 cm standard length (SL). This is a published species record, not an exact dispatch size, total-length conversion or guaranteed maximum for every individual.

Its recorded habitat is shallow, slow-flowing swamp margins beside blackwater streams. A cautious habitat-informed aquarium plan provides a mature, shaded planted system, gentle flow, swimming space and stable measured water. Do not assume that an unqualified generic tropical community range fits this peat-swamp species.

The consulted species references do not provide a complete numeric aquarium or feeding protocol. Confirm the current feeding response and an appropriate group, water and food plan before ordering. Use suitably sized foods, observe feeding and remove leftovers; retail sale by individual fish is not a recommendation to keep a social fish alone.

What you receive

One selected quantity supplies one unsexed Rasbora patrickyapi, not a pair or pre-packed group. No exact dispatch centimetre grade, sex, locality or breeding outcome is guaranteed by the current selector. Check the delivery and Live Arrival Guarantee terms, prepare a mature aquarium and arrange prompt receipt. Follow the acclimation procedure calmly.
