Description

|
|
Algae Crumpler
|
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.

These guys are the most active in my fish tank. They do school, and love to swim at the top part of my tank. The pristella tetras school in the middle, and my glowlight tetras love the middle and bottom. These rasboras fit well in my community. If I had more room, I'd get more.
