    Hi,
    I've come across this fish here in China and I have difficulty trying to identify it before trying to rear it. I plan to get maybe around 6 or so.
    Understand it's from india but I'm not sure.
    Has anyone seen it before?
    Its freshwater species and grows to about 1.8cm.

    Please help?

    Re: Help me identify this fish

    Seems to resemble a species of fish called Danionella Dracula...

    http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species...nella-dracula/

    If you look through the 9 photos in the species gallery on that site, there are some photos which look very much like the fish in your photo.

    The one in your photo has a more distinct bluish color though, maybe its a similiar species or perhaps a color variant.

    Hi Urban Farmer,
    Absolutely thrilled at your help!!
    Thank you so much, i googles the fish name and yes, I saw a variant with blue coloration. From Burma this one and info is limited on this species.
    I shall purchase 6 and keep with my other micro fish from Burma.

    Will try breeding them if possible….

    Thanks again,
    smwhang

    It would seem so....anyway, not much is known about this species and they are supposed to be the smallest fish in the world...i am setting up my 60X60X50 tank in a couple of days and shall buy a small school of them a few weeks time to see how they fare...
