| FISH COLLECTION RECORD : RASBORA SPECIES |
|
|
| Long Band Rasbora (rasbora einthoveni) |
|
|
| When I first collected this rasbora, I thought it was Rasbora sarawakensis. After observing it for sometimes, I discovered that it is long band rasbora. They are found either in clearwater or blackwater stream. |
|
|
 |
|
|
| Scissor Tailed Rasbora (rasbora trilineata) |
|
|
| It is a common rasbora in the clear water stream and less common in black water stream. However, we found it in a stream far away from Kuching city. (found in a upper Kayan river)It looks like with the spot-tailed and sumatran rasbora. |

|
| Red Stripe Rasbora (rasbora pauciperforata) |
|
|
| This beauty was found in black water stream only. Like most of the rasbora species, they like to bump with each others using their bodies when a pair of them swimming side by side and open their mouths widely (territory display behaviour). This strange behavior is not mating but just having fun together while swimming side by side. |
