Have just been advised by Helen Larson that this fish is best named G. brachypterus rather than G. chuno, which is used for specimens from India.

I think someone once said that these were a very fragile species.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
yes, rather fragile, perhaps due to pure freshwater.

It would be nice to take some sardines picture then...Originally Posted by Justikanz
Of coz I am joking la...
But they would be quite interesting in a small tank setup...
Cheers,

I'm not so sure. They just hang in mid-water and doesn't move at all.

But that's probably what makes it interesting... Transparent and hang in mid-water doing nothing...
