Dang, that's a beauty. These guys school at all and how large do they get? Anyone that picked up a few of these care to comment on their behaviors?
Eric
they do school but are also quarrelsome between the males, flaring and spinning around. typical microrasbora behaviour. very small buggers, they're about 1.5cm now, probably no more than 2-2.5cm at max.

Hi,
Can these fishes keep together with cherry or Malayan shrimps
Very striking colours!
...I love rubies too ...
Ken
Very unique colours and patterns!... I don't think they will still be available when my new office tank is set up in 2-3 month's time!
By the way, what are their water requirements?
Read me! :bigsmile: http://justikanz.blogspot.com/
I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Oooo... nice. They looked starved though (flat tummy).
Choy, can you take a photo of them in a school? Be nice to see what they look like from normal viewing distance. Not everyone stares at their fish up close like you, you know?

Hi guys,
To the fellow owners of "galaxy" , what diets have they been on?
Any trick to get them to darken their bodies?
Mine seems to be ok with flakes. Any site with more infomation and description on these fellas?

i've just got 10 of this from eco-culture last night. after putting them in the tank, i feed them with baby brineshrimp (bbs) and after a while, few of them start to show their colors already. this morning i checked them out again and saw that almost all of them have colored up already. haven't feed them anything yet other than bbs. i guess they would be fine with flakes/granules as well.

nice fish.
i saw them at the shop near aquastar yishun.
was tempted to buy them but they have a price tag which i feel may drop soon, and partly because i hardly keep expensive "small fish".
seeing them in person, i would think they are really a distinctive addition to any aquaria.
Okay, you guys have had them for a week or more now. Care to share more information of them, husbandry wise? What tank mates are you keeping them with?
