    Got some accidental breeding in my newly setup 1 ft tank. First time that it happened to me. Can someone confirm if these are Trigonostigma Espei?

    well how can you tell when it is so young? also espei is not in Rasbora any more, it has been assigned to Trigonostigma for donkey years, comprising T. heteromorpha, espei, hengeli, and the ultra rare somphongsi.
    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.
