Trigonopoma pauciperforatum

The Orange Line or Glowlight Rasbora is an active, medium-growing schooling fish endemic to Southeast Asia, known from peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. With their namesake vivid orange horizontal stripe, this species is an uncommon but beautifully marked aquarium fish that makes for a striking addition to planted or blackwater tanks. In the wild, they inhabit shallow streams and creeks with sandy substrate and soft, acidic, tannin-stained waters, usually among aquatic plants or fallen branches. A hardy and adaptable fish in the aquarium, they will do well in a variety of water conditions but will display the best coloration when kept in relatively soft water at temperatures above 78F. Like most schooling rasboras, they are best kept in groups of 10 or more and will thrive with most similarly-sized peaceful tankmates.
