Diet: Microdevario kubotai is an omnivorous species and thrives on a varied diet.

Tankmates: Kubotai Rasboras are peaceful and social fish that do well in community tanks with other small, peaceful species. They are great tankmates for species like tetras, dwarf gouramis, Corydoras, and other non-aggressive fish. Due to their small size, they should not be kept with larger, more aggressive species. It’s best to keep them in schools of at least 6 individuals to encourage natural schooling behavior and to reduce stress. They prefer a tank with some plants, driftwood, and hiding spots but still plenty of open space to swim in.

This species is a great choice for aquarists who enjoy peaceful and active schooling fish. Their small size and striking appearance make them a wonderful addition to well-planted aquariums, where they can swim in the mid to upper levels.
