Ryan...where did u get it? I was looking for it at Gan's but cldn't find it. Keen to have them in my tank together wif my mosquito rasboras.
Nizz
gan has them.. u can oso try tiong bahru
Simon, unless Gan has something new, the ones I got last time is the dwarf one, N. marginatus.
Hey, Nizz, if you find any can call me, I want to topang some.

The ones at Gan is not the Nannostomus trifasciatus...at least i don think so. I'm looking for this.
Yes Choy...if i find any, will give u a buzz.
Nizz
Yeah, they are nice..
i only managed to get 3, will get 3 more hopefully soon...
Are they breedable in captivity?

This is not wat u have...those in ur tank are the white cloud mountain minnows (in mandarin i believe is pai yin san).

I have bought mine in Bt.Timah complex(a small shopping center next to Beauty World) for $3 each some time back. I was there again few days ago and there are a few pieces left in the tank.
Not too sure if i got the right 3-line pencil... below is the picture.
3-line Pencil1
3-line Pencil2
3-line Pencil3
Personally i prefer tube nose pencil.

nizz: gan has them
Cheers!

No no , i not refering to the white cloud minnows , i also got pencil fish in there.
Nizz, did you get any of those dwarf pencils from Gan? If not I can swap you some dwarf for 3-line (when you find them). I've got 15 dwarves now, thinking of reducing to 10 and putting in some 3-lines.
I think the ones in subzero's pics are the correct ones (prominent red spots on tail). The dwarves do not.

Choy: I didn't buy any...sorry...can't swop wif u.
Nizz
Nizz: buy already put inside yr tank after 1 mth it will look nice
Cheers!
Benetay
Nizz, I mean that if you want the dwarf pencil but didn't get any yet, I will give you some in return for getting 3-lines for me.

Bene: Too late now...already bought 23 mosquito rasboras...buzzing around the tank now...& 9 red noses...
Choy: Noted. Thx.
Nizz
Nizz: Why is it too late to get the pencil fish? Just buy six and dump it in.
Cheers!
