Brevibora dorsiocellata, sometimes also known as the Hi-Spot, Eyespot, or Green-Eyed Rasbora. These are a small and peaceful schooling fish, reaching just shy of 1.5. While they are not so colourful, their reflective green to blue eyes (reminiscent of the Normans Lampeye Killi, Aplocheilichthys normani, from Africa) make them a subtle but stunning display fish. The dark spot on the dorsal, from which their other common names come, also adds a certain chic. Their small size, subdued personality, and low activity level make them perfect tankmates for shy fishes such as Betta sp, various small gouramis, dwarf cichlids, etc.

These are subadults, around 0.75 long. Their metallic eye colour is just starting to develop.

Emerald Eye Rasboras are a fast moving freshwater fish that are most comfortable when kept in large groups. A school of at least six is recommended, but the more you have, the more active your rasboras will be. They are very peaceful and can be housed with other similar-sized community fish. To keep your Emerald Eye Rasboras happy, you can keep your tank heavily planted and provide spots in your aquarium with very little light.
