SCISSORTAIL RASBORA
- RM0.00
The scissortail rasbora is a sleek, streamlined fish named for its deeply forked tail, which resembles an open pair of scissors. The distinct bar pattern on the tail fin accentuates the scissor-like shape. This active fish cuts through the water, and when swimming and even while at rest, this fish will open and close its tail in a scissor-like fashion, giving rise to the common name for which it’s best known. The scissortail rasbora has a silver iridescence that shimmers and sparkles as it reflects ambient light.
