UA, what is your rasbora type in your pearling effect video?Maculatus have the unique black dot and no stripe on the bodies, so they look distictly different from the fishes TS has.
The ones you saw in my video are Boraras Brigittae.
Ohhh. Thanx ah. But mine does not look as red. Is it because they are still too young?
Thanx all for the Id. Hahhahas.
Well, i've kept boraras merah and from my experience, they are usually more of a pinkish color.
I guess once they acclimatize to your tank their color should develop soon. Good food and good water conditions help too.
Hahahs. Cool! Thanx ya. Hopefully they turn red soon!
Where to get this? I think i saw at serangoon before.. Seaview seem like dont have this.The ones you saw in my video are Boraras Brigittae.
I got mine from various LFS over a span of time... at places like C328, Green Chapter, Aquarist Chamber, Qian Hu and even Seaview too. It just depends on their supply and availability.
The key is to make sure the fishes are indeed Boraras Brigittae (some LFS mis-label other boraras species as them), and only select the ones with the deepest red color, skip those that look pale or not red enough. That will ensure you get to enjoy keeping a group of deep red brigittae, instead of a mix of less red or pale ones.
How much is the market rates? $2 per pc?
Yeah, most boraras are usually $1-$2 each (sometimes even 70-80 cents), though if you buy them in bulk bags it can be much cheaper (though there'll tend to be a mix of colors and/or species in the same bag).
I bought them in 100s. Spotted rasbora. Feed them with azoo mini pellets for tetra. Really bring out the pale colour to dark orange red... still need to find a way to prevent them from jumping out. Have a total of like 12 casualties that decided to explore my living room from my braceless tank.
I know seaview has 100 in one big packet for $10. But like always out of stock.
