Can Anyone Identify This Fish?

[GobyMaster]

I saw them when I got my Striped Raphael at my LFS today, and fell in love with them.

Can someone tell me what type of fish this is and the care for it?

i think they get around 6-8 inches in adulthood

Never mind

So, could a school of them survive in a 65 gallon tank?

[tropicman]

i would say around 6-8 would be okay

They should be fine in a 65gal long tank, as 55gallons minimum is usually advised for keeping these fish. I've read that they thrive best in strongly filtered tanks though.

 

[Squidman]

it looks like a type of danio or rasobora?

They are denisonii's,
Were pretty expensive fish not that long ago, How much did you pay for them and what size were they.

I'd love some but they get so big and are still a little on the pricey side for me. I wouldn't do anything smaller than 75g myself but a 65 would work like Tokis-Phoenix said.
