    don't think so.
    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.

    Ha... I would love to have your problem. I can't even get one single species to breed. You have the brigittae breeding?

    For maculatus, can also get from Sea View Aquarium. Can call to check.

    They are already difficult enough to breed I seriously doubt they would hybridise. I keep all of my Boraras species in one tank and I don't think they will ever hybridise. Even if they did it is not certain if the resulting eggs or fry are viable and fertile.

    You can keep them in a community but note that the maculata does get a lot bigger than the rest do and it might bully the smaller species. This is from personal observation so your experience might be different.

    I don't think CS has maculata. I do know he has a tank full of merah but those are already reserved. Don't know if he has a new batch in.

    the brigittae are not breeding, it's just me being anal and well, a big portion of wishful thinking

    the merahs in CS already reserved? wow that's quick. if there's something about singaporeans, they are quick.

    Try SANS aquarium off Upp Paya Lebar. They said sometime they do bring in rasboras / boraras huge quantity. Bought rummy nose from them recently very cheap in bulk.

    Cheers

    if you would like these fish to breed , the way to go is set a 10 gal tank up with a sponge filter a fine layer of sand or gravel, a clump of java moss covering at least a third of the tank and put 2 or 3 pairs in you can also add a trio of C hastatus and they should breed quite easily in said set up,
    i used to use this setup and was successful with it .
