It is commonly sold as a golden Rasbora. Here are a few links of them: [link=http://www.fishba [link=http://species.fishindex.com/photo_2048rasbora_heteromorpha_harlequin_rasbora.html]http://species.fishindex.com/photo_2048rasbora_heteromorpha_harlequin_rasbora.html" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link] [link=http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/harlquin.htm]http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/harlquin.htm" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link] Goodluck  Koi Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn. |

They are becoming quite popular nowadays, and so can be found in more and more stores. We get them in regularly at work, and they're fairly good sellers. |

| koi keeper Moderator Posts: 3203 Kudos: 2033 Votes: 240 Registered: 29-Dec-2001 | Sure they were a Rasbora? When I think of a small tightly schooling gold/clear fish I think of the Golden tetra, hemmigrammus rodwayi: [link=http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/goldtetra.xm They are being seen available a little more often recently.
