    they look so unassuming in the LFS tank, but when you get them settled the orange stripe and dorsal trim is really striking.

    got so many goby, must invade your house and snap them [:]

    actually I would have named the danio Danio sp. 'Flash Gordon'

    haha, no problem. only two species of goby(not harmful to my other fish type)..more tetras.

    I read the magazine last night, it said, this danio is a very good jumper, and yes they really are, this morning found another on the floor![]
    they are much smaller than my cover.sighhhhh

    The goby at my home has this Knight goby body shape, but the one at Biotope is like SMALL Soon Hock. []

    I have two species of unknown cyprinidae spp, always didn't have chance to snap them.

    what? is Singapore!? there are no native danio in Singapore, they all occur in northern Thailand, Myanmar and India. you would have caught an escapee from the aquarium trade for sure, but this species is new to the trade. where did you catch it, and are you sure it is a danio or perhaps a rasbora?

    my old Danio sp (the green one) one jumped out again....

    I have two species of unknown cyprinidae spp right now, total 3 fish.
    the only fish, i think is a Parachela spp. I had two, but one died. It's about 5, 6 cm long. This fish don't get fat even it eats alot.

    I had another parachela spp, the body shape is not as long as the current one, but shorter, and the head structure also different. As for the size, only 2.5 cm, and didn't grow big at all during the half year stay in my tank.

    The two unknown cyprinidae spp in the tank now are silverfish, long body, and common looking, lastly..peaceful.
