small, green sheen, black little marking on fin and quite nice.. They should be quite darty.. and doesn't school..i dont think.

yup i bought 10 of them, they were real tiny when they first came
now they are the size of a Maculatus
very darty fishes.....in the dark there is a purplish tint to the body
Yup.. thats the nice part..
I might have seen these at C328 previously and frankly speaking, they seem quite dull at first sight. Their beauty will only come through after you take them home and they have settle down.
Not a lot of pictures on the net. Here's two that I manage to find.
A fairly recently described fish (Kottelat & Witte, 1999), these fellas are from Myanmar and grows up to 1.5 cm.RVA retails this fish too, but seem like they have only male specimens.

I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Goodness..those specimens are FATTTT
hahaha, you should see mine...some are fatter ...i just drop some food in and they are the first one to get it, the rest are too small
but bought 10 only 5 survived so far....think they grow longer then 1.5, mines around 2.5 and they grow really fast. i was worried initially that they were too small to eat the micro pellet i feed my other boraras but they just gobbled up everything. the purplish tinge comes out in the dark only
now gotta try to bring up the baby briget i got from Ben...bought 15 almost half dead
Hmmm.. Had the impression that they stay smaller than 2 cm from fishbase. Obviously they are wrong too. Wonder what is their maximum size.Originally Posted by anaconda

wah ha, TW's son is doing well with his cam
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.

I would certainly say so. The above picture shows everything you need to clearly ID the fish. Good stuff. In fact, best on the web so far.Originally Posted by hwchoy

p.s. Didn't recall him at the Aquarama dinner the last time though.

Microrasbora nana is fairly common in the LFS, its relative the M. gatesi is much more uncommon.

no, he got left behind at TW's cousin's house where they are putting up. I did talk to him a bit in Yangon. He just graduated from Computer Engineering.Originally Posted by benny

Ooohhh!! Look at the fine cyan coloration along the lateral line!!! Excellent details and light control!
The reflective upper stomach is interesting to see too!

yes very interesting fish, can be easily confused with Horadandia atukorali. this specimen is still only half recovered from pH burn. I haven't post-processed to the alphabet M yet, that's why you don't find any of the Microrasbora in hexazona. I think I have some better pix.

huh??? how to be confused?? they look quite different leh..unless you're talking about the young...
the hard one to tell apart i think is M. gatesi and M.kubotai ...
Too bad never see them much nowadays.. i mean the M.gatesi.
I mean confusing M. gatesi with H. atukorali, they're quite similar unless side-by-side as the blue lateral in the gatesi is usually not very obvious, and iut has this greenish stomach. I find the M. kubotai very distinctive and not easily confused. looks like need to get the hexazona gallery up quickly

It's been very very very very very very long already.Originally Posted by hwchoy
For TW's picture, i wonder how he managed to put this fish right in front of the glass.
There is a "sandwich" technique that makes it possible. You use a piece of glass an push the subject to the front glass. Adding gravel is not an issue at all.Originally Posted by MrTree

i actually tell them apart by body shape...lol.. i dont find atukorali as slim
