| I asked a couple of weeks ago for an id on a fish that had somehow found itself into my tank. The working identity was a thick banded rasbora - I have now managed to get a couple of really bad photo's of it. It spends most of its time hiding in the undergrowth because it's the smallest fish in the tank. | |

| Im going with munchy's id although it doesnt have the same amount of red on it it had at the beginning so I am not so sure now. I will ppst a few more photo's when it has grown a bit more - it might be easier to tell then. | |

| It's the shape of a neon tetra...i know it's not one but i'm sure it's somewhere along those lines now looking at it. I'm stumped tbh. Can you ask at the LFS? | |

| I think it looks like a Rasbora of sort, which one i got no idea. Maybe its failing to colour up as its hiding away in the plants and timid? | |

| Right - I reckon "Rasbora Elegans" I'm just wondering if the middle black spot comes with age/sex/hierarchy...????? Check this out
(I still think it's neon shaped though) :lol: | |
