Danionella??

[ranmasatome]

Yes.. another c328 acquired fish.. labelled as "mini glass fish"...
i thought these were Danionella sp???
Can someone correct me if i'm wrong?
Choy any idea?

Small as crap...and worse yet.. transparent...and worst of all.. they are darters in the water... apologies if the pictures aren't too good..

[hwchoy]

yes Danionella but have to check which species, since there are 2 (or is it 3) species and at least another 3 undescribed ones.

WB off towards yellow.

Danionella translucida??

[benny]

Well.. fine pictures in my opinion. Given their size at about 8 to 10 mm, I think you shown them up pretty well. In future, you might want to consider another background instead of black so the fin details down drown.

Cheers,

thanks choy and benny..

I er...(Ahem) bought all of them......they school together nicely even though they are rather difficult to see. They're in my 1ft shrimp tank with the mini gobies from C328 as well. I got another tiny fish named by Y618 as 'mini helicopter' It's actually Indostomus paradoxus but I didn't want to bother him with details....

i think those mini gobies (depending which one you got) are fin nippers... be careful.

Boss, I think the picture is hwchoy's Indostomus paradoxus

For the difference, I think best bet is to check with the locality where they are caught lor. I know Indostomus paradoxus is reported to be from Myanmar to Cambodia. Indostomus cocrodilus I never kept before so I don't know. But I google and found that they are distributed in Nae Nam Tod Deng, Narathiwat Prov., Thailand.


Anyway, I've also seen the "mini glassfish" being sold in Eco-culture ley, labelled as Danionella spp. Hmmm...
