Just got back from Emma's

hi mark
thats some amount of rasboras youve got, i saw that you said you were running out of space, ask emma if patrick can get some ( trade name) rosy emerald eyes.
small fish that won't take alot of space, i got a nice shoal of them yesterday, they are R dorsiocellata but a very attractive form.

Any chance of a picture Mick, they sound nice.

I have only heard reports of one new find recently as far as Rasboras go so am I right in thinking these are a man made variant ?

If so is it 100% that they are not dyed in any way ?

hi mark
andy rushworth aka piggy4 said they were on a thread on petfrd,?
according to andy they are wild caughts.?
leave it a couple of days then i'll post a couple of pics, as they need a good bit of tlc at the moment, bought 21 so far two have perished,
but the rest are a wee bit stronger looking.

they are lovely fish in standard colour anyway. i fail miserably in taking photos of them, i just get a blue fuzzy streak with a silvery green blob

Cheers Mick

hi mark
just checked on petfrd for the thread, if you print dorsiocellata in the search the thread title is, simi rasbora sp. from mentaya river system, the last pic on borneo's post.

hi mark
