    I decided that my 4 Boraras maculata look rather bored @ home so I wanna get more. Where can I find more? Heard Tiong Bahru there got but how to get there? Thx.

    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.

    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 ? []

    If it's the latter, I know where I'll be tomorrow evening

    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 []

    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?

    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.
