    Thanks Henk! Could you PM me also? I've been hoping some of these would come by.

    I wonder what caused the price drop.

    Gilbert you are completely off...

    It's called rip-off. The fish cost the same from the overseas suppliers for the last 2 years or so. It is the local guys trying to make a quick buck

    Cool,i googled them.Going to look for them in PTA.
    Want about 7 or 8.
    Very nice fish indeed.
    The ph requirements is the only thing bothering me.
    Henk do you keep them?
    If so are they in a community tank?

    Oi Henk...

    Here's a taste of YOUR medicine.

    Enuf of the one liners.

    Slojo asked if you are keeping them in your community tank? If so, how are you provifing the necessary requirements for them. Not what they should keep it in.

    They are come from the microrasbora family.
    Had some for a while.
    They are about 1/2 - 2/3 the size of a guppy.
    Not community tank material.
    More a show fish n a 30L with some plants
