Re: [GSAS-Member] Galaxy rasbora??

I don't think these are man-made hybrids but who knows?!?!? The little
bits I've been able to dig up suggest it's a new, undescribed species of
Microrasbora just discovered in 2006. Don't know if I'll be able to afford
any....maybe worth waiting for aquarium bred stock rather than
wild-caught. They are SMALL....but then, I LOVE the small (nano) fish!
Imagine a little shoal in a 5 gallon tank or less with LOTS of live
plants. Yummy!
