    I saw at Far East Aquatics (Simon Rd) today a tank of Boraras urophthalmoides which had quite significant shiny streaks on them (choy, what's the term for it liao?).... nice, but my tank is already full of Boraras merah and brigittae liao

    Karin also has a tank of the Boraras sp. - the underscribed type from Thailand, which looks like a stubby B. maculatus with a large black spot.

    Just to add, because I have nothing better to do: go visit Ecoculture/Cichlids Forever too if you are in that area, just 5 minutes walk away. Also there's lots of good food: dimsum, teochew muei, teochew kueh, nasi lemak, orh chian....

    iridescent?
    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.

    clown barbs could be S. everetti or S. dunckeri. everetti is more orangey base, while dunckeri has more pinkish/pearl-sheen base.
