Microdevario
Microdevario is a small genus of danionin cyprinids. It was recently described to include species previously in the genus Microrasbora.[1] These small freshwater fish are native to Burma (Myanmar) and adjacent parts of Thailand, and reach up to 1.5–2.3 cm (0.6–0.9 in) in length depending on the exact species involved.[2]
