The rummy nose rasbora is naturally found in parts of southeast Asia, near Myanmar. You can also find this species in mountain lakes with shallow water. This fish is used to slow water streams and shallow waters. The surrounding environment is typically filled with dense vegetation, and a lot of greenery. They use these tangles as places to hide, rear young, or foraging and eating.

Rummy nose rasbora has many commons names. These include Sawbwa Barb, Asian Rummynose, Mynamar Oriental Fish, Burmese Rummynose, and Burmese Rammy Nose.

What makes this rasbora a great addition to a community or planted aquarium is its attractive, streamlined body. It has a glimmering, blueish-tinted shine on its torso that really pops with a darker-themed substrate and background. Including sufficient vegetation not only helps spur natural behaviors from this fish but it also creates a beautiful looking environment. The contrast with a large blue-bodied school of rummy nose rasboras or other schooling fish that are brightly colored would make any aquarium stand out and be the best.
