The Burmese Rummy Rasbora (Sawbwa resplendens), also known as the Asian Rummy Nose Rasbora, is a stunning and peaceful schooling fish that adds vibrant color and movement to freshwater aquariums.
Native to the freshwater lakes and rivers of Myanmar, this small yet active species is perfect for planted tanks and community aquariums.
Burmese Rummy Rasboras are highly social and thrive in groups of six or more, where they display their beautiful silvery-blue bodies, bright red heads, and transparent fins.
Male rummy rasbora exhibit more intense coloration, especially when courting females. Their gentle nature and small size make them excellent tank mates for other peaceful fish, such as tetras, guppies, and small rasboras.
