[link=Here's]http://species.fishindex.com/species_2408boraras_maculatus_dwarf_rasbora.html" style="COLOR: #00C000[/link] one site I found with some info on them. I wouldn't keep them in a 5gal, I think it's be a little small for them...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Technically yes, however like iltat I wouldnt recomend it for two reasons. 1.They're schooling and really would be better in larger than a school of 6. And for 2. a 5 gallon tank will be rather difficult to remain stable as well as not providing much swimming room. I agree with the site that was linked to, a 10 gallon would be a minimum.

my friend has a school of them in a 45 gal. you can breed them in a 5 gal but to keep them in there might not be very good because of what was previosly said
