nice fishes! I think they can be found in Singapore too, swimming with the bigger barbs.
But, kinda a little too big for tanks below 4ft.

think you saw the Rasbora elegans
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

nope....i never seen rasbora elegans before.....maybe i'll find it in the future!
Rasbora elegans is another spotty rasbora... gets to about 15 cm. I think its distribution is Malaya and Sumatra though. You often see it together with Rasbora einthovenii (which seems to imply that they occupy different ecological niches in the same habitat). And unlike R. kalochroma and R. kottelati, elegans is a predominantly clearwater fish.

what I meant is lorba probably seen elegans in Singapore instead of kalochroma/kottelati.

rasbora elegans is found in Sabah state(northern Borneo)....i hope i can find it one day in sarawak.I'll post another pix of unknown rasbora sp. which was caught by Mr Tree during our trip to explore waterhead of kalimantan river.Check it out!
That rasbora's head and body shape really look like tubbi.
Doesn't seem to score high on the aesthetics chart...
That's because you haven't seen a school of them in top form – With a deep glowing red, and spots that seem multi-coloured. Personally I will take a batch of any rasbora over any tetra any day.

A rare beauty from the land of headhunters, in transit to a suitor's abode, finds demise in the holding house of a Hunter living in the remains of a big swamp..... a most intriguing case indeed.... let's round up the suspects!!
some people do mind about the title "land of headhunter".....thats why now we called our land...land of hornbill.....
Sabah=land under the breeze
Kalimantan=??

Yes, it can be a sensitive 'label' (although i see the tourism board using the term in their promotion advertisements). But let's keep this thread firmly on the kottelati and other fishy stuff .....
