Scissortail - Rasbora trilineata

By , About.com GuideAugust 18, 2012

Follow me on:

Anyone who has seen a Scissortail not only remembers what they look like, but knows why they got their name. Even when at rest, the Scissortail Rasbora likes to open and close its deeply forked tail, much like a pair of scissors. This active member of the Rasbora family is a peaceful schooling fish that makes a great addition to any community aquarium.
