    Nice! Pity the fins though... should look much nicer when they grow back.
    Cheers,

    yah loh, if you're going to the trouble of editing and annotating the pix, make sure you pick the good looking models leh

    The models were nice when they arrived in the tank.
    After one night with a stupid goby, frayed tails all over the place.

    Anyway, they school very nicely. Will make very good schooling fish in a small planted tank.



    See all the tails are nipped?

    From eco cult ? I have gotten mine from Azmi too...I feel like pumping some live food but not sure what is small yet nutritious to these boraras for consumption.

    Yah choy, I have been using Azmi Daphnia Powder to feed my small fishes all along. Will give a try on the live daphnia then.

    Bought a few from Eco Culture today.. Currently keeping them with a pair of apisto.
    Yeah, they school better than other boraras. Nice red colouration on the body as well. Highly recommended for small tank.

    With the presence of the Apisto, they will school as the apisto is like a predator. Which apisto you keeping them with? Hopefully they wouldn't become fish food.

    Feed them well and they turn red! Mine are red now...

    I comm 10 'south thailand' with 5 brigittae...all will shoal together pretty well. Perhaps mine is a small tank, almost 1.5feet.

    The 'south thailand' are more aggresive when it comes to feeding, and not shy to nib my hand at all when I do WC.

    They school better compared with boraras brigittae which i used to keep with apisto (just my observation).
    Currently keeping them with a pair of apistogramma paucisquamis and some indian glassfishes. The pair do not seems to bother much about the darter fishes.
    Yeah.. pumping them with BBS now.. Nice pictures you have there..
