Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone out there has or has recently seen any Boraras maculatus (which were as common as dirt when I was growing up as a kid but haven't seen since about 1989) or brigittae. There was a nice article about them in the Nov PFK.

I would love to get a few pairs of these. They are, according to Derek McInerny's All about tropical fish, are not too difficult to spawn though the spawns are small.

Hi Tyronne!

Dunno if you are still looking for these??

Try Quality Aquariums if you are, Ahmed has been getting a few interesting Rasboras and the like in of late!

Infact, I'm going to be getting some Boraras Merah (Pheonix Rasbora) in the next few weeks from him!

I know he mentioned either having, or getting in some Maculatas and Briggitae??

Hope that is helpful??

Cheers
Big G!
