That is a great picture. Awesome looking fish as well.

I've got about 20. I posted a picture a while back, but it is not very good. Doesn't really show them to their best.

I bought a shoal of these a little while ago and they instantly became my favourite fish. Full of energy and confidence, and I really like the way their eyes shine blue from certain angles. Absolute bugger to photo though.

Hopefully, I might be able to add some photos this weekend.

Dave.

EDIT: Funnily enough, they are sometimes called Green Eyed Rasbora, but my fish look more like blue to me.

Nice shot!
How did you get that "Grass" to grow so tight?

Supply good lighting and other good conditions so the plant doesn't grow upwards in search of these requirements and instead can afford to grow outwards, forming a carpet.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, although it was the fish I was showing off, not the plants.

The grass is Eleocharis `parvula`, which stays lower than E. acicularis. It is a high light tank with EI fertilisers, pressurised CO2 and ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia substrate.

These are far and away my favourite fish. I think I will try Boraras maculata in my next tank.

Dave.
