Lambchop Rasboras

Add a bright pop of color and activity to freshwater tanks with the Lambchop Rasbora, Trigonostigma espei! As their fun nickname suggests, these little fish exhibit an elegant shape highlighted by a vibrant reddish patch resembling a lamb chop.

Ranging 1.5-2 inches at maturity, Lambchops are ideal for nano community aquariums. Their small stature allows them to carefully maneuver and display schooling behavior. Groups of 6 or more really allow them to exhibit stunning synchronized movements set against lush plantscapes. Despite small sizes, their red coloration makes them stand out.
