A whole betta tank full of them....placed among the bettas....colourings are still intact but abit skinny though in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing. Nowadays they are not so difficult to find, hohoo.

the galaxy rasbora is not a Microrasbora, its called Celesichthys margaritatus. (note some calls it a Danio but I do not subscribe to that argument)

Ya.. most times I find this fish to be skinny.. don't know if this is because of poor nourishment or if they are plagued by parasites.. I still favour this fish.. BUT.. the condition it is normally in puts me off ..

Where can we find microrasbora?

Thanks.

I personally would stay away from galaxies since they are still endangered due to commercial harvesting.

**k3nlim** · 3rd Jul 2008, 23:23

They're still on the endangered list? Any updates regarding their status? By the way, the fishes have crooked spine...that's not normal for this fishes?

**blue33** · 4th Jul 2008, 00:39

Seaview and Y618 got. Seaview have alot.

**ct13** · 4th Jul 2008, 07:42

Thanks! Colourful has 3 packs & seaview has quite a fair bit yesterday. But colourful has much better colouration.

yup, still endangered, till they are able to breed them commercially. Though i am not sure if its restriction has been lifted.

Any idea where is colourful? I want to pick these up for my tank.

Give him a call before going down, a couple of weeks ago, i saw he've left only 1-2 bags of galaxy rasbora.
