this greedy fish easily lose it's body shape under captivity. mine ended up fat & ugly.
how big are they?
Here's two specimens of Rasbora elegans, I am guessing the first is female and the second male, based on the deeper body, bulging abdomen of the first. Any one can confirm if this is right?

around 5-6cm, got three of them since they're only 3 cm contributed by "longkang fisherman". two has the "male" shape and one has the "female" shape which it keeps even if I don't feed them for a few days.

seems you've got to try to breed them then know(such fast swimming fish, probably would need a 2 ft)..or..."open and see"[]
mine usually does not swim very fast, they can but they tend to just stroll around in the open waters. Have you seen them on sale?

hmmmm, only a couple times. the price was 2 bucks.
whoa, that's expensive considering they're fairly common even in Singapore.

this is one of the few native fishes that can still be found outside the catchment (read $10,000 fine) so if you have a really big net can consider trawling those BIG longkang in LCK?
