A '''rasbora''' is member of a group of small minnow-type fish in the family [[Cyprinidae]] (carps). Fish from genera such as '''''[[Boraras]]''''', ''[[Microrasbora]]'', '''''Rasbora''''' and '''''[[Trigonostigma]]''''' are commonly referred to as rasboras. The genus ''Microrasbora'' may be more closely related to [[danio]]s than other genera in this group while the genera ''Boraras'' and ''Trignonstigma'' were split from ''Rasbora''. Currently the genus ''Rasbora'' remains the largest one, containing around 70 species, which can be found in [[Southeast Asia]] and [[Africa]].
Most of the rasboras are small, up to 10 cm long. A number of species are regularly kept in aquariums; the most common of these is the [[harlequin rasbora]] (''[[Trigonostigma heteromorpha]]'').
In a 2007 analysis, ''Rasbora'' was found to not be a [[monophyly|monophyletic]] assemblage; however, both ''Boraras'' and ''Trigonostigma'' were determined to be monophyletic.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Mayden|first=Richard L.|coauthors=Tang, Kevin L.; Conway, Kevin W.; Freyhof, Jörg; Chamberlain, Sarah; Haskins, Miranda; Schneider, Leah; Sudkamp, Mitchell; Wood Robert M.; Agnew, Mary; Bufalino, Angelo; Sulaiman, Zohrah; Miya, Masaki; Saitoh, Kenji; He, Shunping|year=2007|title=Phylogenetic relationships of ''Danio'' within the order Cypriniformes: a framework for comparative and evolutionary studies of a model species|journal=J.
