    Hi guys, I know this is quite a common fish for planted aquarium but don't know the exact name of it... appreciate if anyone can help me with it.

    I plan to stock my 3ft with it.

    Thanks

    Trigonostigma heteromorpha aka Harlequin Rasbora, native to Singapore. please stock the natural looking ones, rather than those fancy black and blue variants
    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.

    Hi Choy, thanks!
    Hmm... I didn't know it's actually a native fish, interesting.
    I presummed those in the pics are the natural looking ones... right?

    anything that does not look like the one in your pix are aquarium hybrids.

    Noted with thanks... I had never liked those chemically enhanced or hybrids variants.

    this fish is very good for creating a crypt scape. one of its common habitat is shallow forest ponds/streams with piles of C. griffithi
