    what size are they?, they have a good body shape, my kind of fish to keep,
    if they come to the UK, what water parameters would i need to keep this fish in good health?, also what foods are they able to take.
    thanks, mick

    they are smaller than your smallest Boraras...(except perhaps B. micros)... a cm or less.

    I love small fishes! And these look nice... Oh, transparent or translucent fish look cool! Can tell immediately if they are feeding from the tummy colour!
