Are Neon Green Rasboras fin nippers?

[Jmm226]

I'm looking into getting some microdevario kubotai for my 40 gallon iwagumi and I am wondering if they will nip my Betta's long fins or if the betta will eat them. I had a betta in the past who got bloated so I fasted her for a couple of days before feeding her peas. In that process she
attacked and killed 2 Phoenix rasboras but I'm still unsure if it was from aggression or if she was just hungry because she was rather new to that tank (only a week or so). Can someone please answer me.

It's very possible they could be a snack for Betta, actually if your Betta has a history it's very probable they will be.
Bettas are sometimes referred to as Siamese fighting fish [emoji6] , hard to breed that out, some Betta's allow others to occupy there tank....many do not.

The Betta that had eaten the 2 Phoenix rasboras was my last Betta and I have another question. Will the neon green rasboras survive in high ph if I float and drip acclimate them?

Should survive, have always wanted some of those myself so I'm not positive. Are they tank raised?, if so should be used to higher ph. I would research their ideal ph, and gh/kh requirements to be sure.

Reread you thread... oops 40 gallon, that would help their chances for survival.
