7 Iconic "Rasboras" That Are Actually IMPOSTORS! 🚫🐟 Science vs. Hobby #7DFeps026

You call them Rasboras, the fish store labels them Rasboras, but science says... NOPE! 🤯 In today’s episode of Seven Daddy's Fins (7DF), we are exposing the identity crises of 7 of the most popular nano fish in the aquarium hobby.

From the legendary Galaxy Rasbora to the classic Harlequin, taxonomy updates have officially moved these favorites into entirely different genera like Danio, Boraras, and Sundadanio. We’re breaking down why these changes happened, how to care for them properly, and why they remain absolute icons in the aquascaping world despite their "fake" names.

If you love nano tanks, planted aquariums, or just geeking out over fish taxonomy, this list is for you!
