ahem… it is maculatus
anyway, was at biotope last week but no maculatus, just merah.
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.

Try the lfs at Ginza Plaza! Saw a lot of them a couple of weeks ago.
Cheers!
Ya, Lake Aquarium at Ginza had a lot a week back. There's also another type with just one dot near the tail.----------------

Just to sidetrack .. still looking for brigittae

I got mine from both TB and CS.
Almost the same pricing. Those at CS seemed to have slightly different markings though and I wonder if they are sub-species of each.
Hi Nicky, you mean maculatus or brigittae ? []----------------

I also got my brigittae from TB. But of the 40pcs I got only 2 survive because of white-spot. Of the 2 that survive, one is male and the other female. The shop owner does not know what is Brigittae but they call it Mosquito rasbora. I have a standing order of 100pcs. You may want to stand behind me and get in the line[]
Ya, was at TB abt a month ago asking for brigittae. Had a hard time explaining to the owner. He called his friend over the handphone, and the other guy seemed to know. Asked me to check The List on the net to keep a look out.
Would have been easier to tell him Mosquito Rasbora!
Thanks!
Wow 100 pcs ?! Okay, I'm next in line []

Been busy all the holiday so replying only now... ... Biotope difficult to find lah. Din even see it laz time i take 157 and stop at queensway shopping. Did I do right a not? TB cheaper I heard but dunno how to get there. Ginga plaza? Where is it? How get there? I really wanna get more of these cute fellas... ... now still got, thx for e help!
for those of you who doesn't want to come to grief buying or ordering the wrong fish (100 wrong fishes can be quite traumatic) I suggest you print the following pictures and show it to the LFS. Don't assume they know fishes just because they sell them, and don't rely on common names.
For those consulting FishBase, their pics are not always reliable.
Boraras brigittae (1024×76
Boraras maculatus (1024×76
Boraras urophthalmoides (1024×76

Can info how much does one of the Boraras brigittae cost on the average?
Any requriements on the minimum number to keep?
They are pretty red, the kind of fish i like.
cluster, all of the rasbora choy has shown are bright red if healthy.. price ranges betweem $0.60 to $2 for the three different species, Biotope has stocks for them, including the merah

pic of the Boraras merah now that Simon mentioned it. Note that the B. urophthalmoides are usually yellow/orange, some may become red over the back.
