| Green Rasboras? A while back I bought some fish advertised as "Green Rasboras". The only thing I know of them is that they are small, green, tropical fish, less than 1and a half inches long. The genus name is Rasbora but I don't know the scientific name. If anyone knows anything about this little fish then please post some information about them. |

look like that?
i think they are Microrasbora kubotai.. Besides what you already know, I cant tell you anything about them. I would treat them like most small schooling rasboras

| Actualy I don't know the full size of the Rasoras. Mine look exactly like the picture, but the part I left out the first time I posted this was that they chase each other around, but not my Dwarf Gourami or, obviosly, my coolie loach, who just stays in the gravel all day. |

| do they chase or school?.... There's a big difference and I bet they school because they are a peaceful fish.. |

| They're cool looking, but they almost look died. Anyone know anything else about these? They would be an awesome schooling fish if they aren't died, and they actually school. Haha.

| They school but are just playful. And no they are not "died". They are very lively and don't act as a dying Rasbora would. Thanks for the advice anyway. |

| Wow, normally I'm the one cringing on the inside when people misuse their/there/they're and you caught me using the word died to refer to the dyeing process. Yes, that is obviously what I meant. Thanks for the info, and I'm glad they seem to be working out for you. Sorry about the spelling.

| I would provide a picture, but I am not a good photographer and I don't know how to post them either. For a good idea of what they look like look to the picture on unwriten law's first post. |
