Question 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.

Maybe Rasbora axelrodi? Any chance of a picture?

This is the best pic I found: Rasbora axelrodi, Axelrod's Rasbora, Aquariumfish, Database, aquarium, pictures, fish, photo, free, images, Aquavisie, tropical aquarium

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.
