Lively and active tiny fish which occupy middle and top part of a tank. Slightly smaller than its counterparts and famous for its orange 'nike' swoosh along the sides. They should be kept in group of at least 6-8 to show their nature of schooling. They need some ample open swimming space do school and dart around. Feed with floating and live foods as this fish is not to keen to scavange from the bottom.

I recently bought 7 of these guys from my local fish store (Just Fish) in Lexington, KY. though they called them "Narrow Wedge Rasbora." 6 of them look just like the photo, 1 has the orange strip completely around the black all the way to the tail, top and bottem. It is much smaller than the others.
Great little guys to watch. I love them.

According to www.FishBase.org the correct scientific name for Hengel's Rasbora is actually Trigonostigma hengeli.
