2 questions actually; is a mosquito rasbora the same as a chili rasbora?
Other question is How many of those (chili's or mosquitos) for a five gallon long tank, heavily planted? I read that about four or five chili's is equivalent to one neon within their biological footprint... So im presuming their bio load is a step above a shrimp.
Thanks in Advance.

Yes they are both Boraras briggitae.
As for how many you could have, maybe 8? Some people would put more, but I think 10 is the maximum I would go for.

Thank you Opare for the reply, I must say though this thread is now worthless as the next day (today) I went into town and got five CPD's instead, so far im not regretting my selection choice, Beautiful colorations.

No worries I really like CPDs too, and haven't found them to be as shy as people say TBH. They are usually out and about for me.

True! when I brought them home, even now they aren't hiding where they could be. They are out in the open roamin' around like you said

Will have to repeat they are just such a pretty fish in person, the orange on them is what really makes them pop
