OK, still trying to ID these fishes. They are very small, size of Boraras maculatus or mosquito rasbora, about 1-1.5cm, even the malayan shrimps are bigger! Got them from TB Ben, he calls it "green-line". More pics here…

your links are broken because the you need not put the URL in quotes…
I believe the second one (Microrasbora nana) is closest in terms of the size as well, except the RVA pics show black trims on the fins and mine are clear. Have you seen the M. nana in real life? Which LFS selling?
The first one is much bigger in size and I have seen them on sale, look very similar except the vast size difference.
anyone any other opinion?

Cheers.

kubotai and this fish got very big difference.
the color of the actual fish seems difficult to show on pic.
it is just greenish / yellow lor? have you seen the nana already? I've seen quite a few kubotai and they're not like the ones in the pic.----------------

OK, I added a short video (right-click and save) see if any one recognise them, perhaps the way they swim? they're just the size of mosquito rasbora, about 1cm. You can compare it to the pentazona in the background.

yeah, i know the diff..posted just to hope others to know these two are different...
damn, that day i bought 4 rasbora kalbarensis for 10 bucks...sighhh..is it normal price?
4 for $10 maybe kind of high. [] how's the colour? better than those from biotope previously? I have seen the orange and the red form, referring to the two colourpatch on the caudal peduncle.
