Hiya,
About a year ago I bought six of what I was told were baby scissortail rasbora. I was told they would lose the blue colouring and grow to need a larger tank. Here they a http://www.gorge.org/fish/what.shtml#scis The photos aren't great, but they won't sit still and smile! Now, it's been a year and they aren't any bigger! They are in a 70litre sof****er tank with tetras and harlequins. Their behaviour is entirely peaceful, although they are the most active fish in the tank, and they willingly feed from the top (which my cardinals, for example, rarely do). I would have thought by now I would have seen them lose colour and grow bigger if they really are scissortails. For sure, the tank isn't big enough for them if they do grow, but they'd be moved to a larger tank as has happened to other fish. They are each up to an inch long, no more. Can anyone confirm the identification, or suggest an alternative? I'm not aware of any other type that looks like that. The shop where I bought them is usually bang on with its ID and advice (and I checked at the time so I can't have read the wrong label!) All help welcome! Cheers and have a good week everyone, -- Flash Wilson -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "The geek shall inherit the girth." |
