Totaly with you... nearly every day I have to stop and watch my rasbora shoal for a bit as its one of the joys of our aquarium!

Bit unfair not posting pictures up though...

Hehe, I do love rasbora.

 

[Marve99]

Yeah, my platy's which had previously been rather slow have been invigorated by the new arrivals and seem to want to join the shoal.

Actually bought 8 harlequins last night, but not until I intorduced them to my tank did I notice 1 was a little differnet (not the same species (similar shape and size but no darker markings) and I have yet to be able to ID him), he seems to think he is part of the shoal and nobody seems to mind so do you think I should just leave him?

Will see if i can get some pics,if they keep still long enough

marve99-have you got a pic of fishie?

 

[waterdrop]

Haha don't hold your breath for waterdrop, never been known to find the shutterbutton on a camera, much less push it!

Will try tonight

He's a touch smaller that the Harlequins, similar shape, no dark triangular section towards the tail and a couple of faint vertical darker stripes towards the front of his body.

Only thing I can possibly think of off the top of my head is
Tiger Barb
Albino Tiger Barb
...

The rasbora look fantastic by the way Harlequin! Really nice shoaling.
