I stopped at my favorite LFS in Modesto, "Tropical Haven", to inquire about their sale of wild caught Galaxy Rasboras. Ted, who I believe is the owner or one of them, informed me that he is only purchasing captive bred Galaxy's. The store was busy but he took the time to take me through the rows of aquariums to show me "ALL" of the very interesting and not very common Rasbora's he stocks as well as some other nice fish. I mentioned I was interested in breeding the Galaxy, then he took me over to his rather extensive food selection and gave me some sound advice for feeding the fry and the adults. He said he was glad that there are people in the hobby that were genuinely interested in taking optimal care of the fish they purchase from him.
I was really happy to hear the Galaxy Rasbora is now being bred in captivity, hopefully this will take the pressure off the wild ones and their habitat.
I was equally impressed that he took the time to help me and show me his store.
I would highly recommend this store for anyone in the area or willing to drive to it. Their in Modesto, CA 1707 Prescott. 209.522.4706
By the way, the Galaxy Rasboras were $3.99
