Rasbora is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae.[1] They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China.[1] A single species, R. gerlachi, is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (Cameroon), but this locality is considered doubtful.[2] They are small, up to 17 cm (6.7 in) long, although most species do not surpass 10 cm (4 in) and many have a dark horizontal stripe.[1]

Several species are regularly kept in

monophyletic assemblage. However Boraras and Trigonostigma were determined to be monophyletic.[4]

Species

Rasbora borapetensis
Rasbora einthovenii
Rasbora kalochroma
Rasbora trilineata
Rasbora vulcanus

According to

junior synonyms and a few others (not listed below) are recognized as valid species.[5]
