Some pictures of my NEW GALAXY RASBORAS and Yoyo loach

[Willyleigh]

I'm so excited to have these, I have wanted them since they were discovered. Today I took back my 9 neons and came home with 11 of these rasboras and a Betta, with my employees discount and credit for the neons it cost me £13 ($26)

My rasboras, not great pictures as it kept focusing on the background, but good enough to see them.

My Yoyo Loaches, I couldn't resist photoing these funny little guys.

Very pretty. It's a shame Galaxy Rasboras are nearing extinction in the wild now though :(

Yes overfishing for the aquarium trade mainly, but at least we are keeping the species alive in our aquaria.

Yep, I say that all galaxy rasbora owners should get cracking on how to breed these fish and contribute to the general knowledge pool :)

didn't they change the genus of those galaxy rasboras? I though I may have read that somewhere, something along the lines of danios?

I am soooo mad at you. I want the Gaxalies soooo bad.

Yes, they are now like celestial pearl rasboras or something

I see a few of the online fish stores are carrying them now so farms are raising them apparently. The export of a lot of fish have stopped due to depleting stock in their area.

Those are very nice fish! and a nice tank!

I'e wanted them since I first saw them, but they were too expensive and I had no room left in my tank.

Fortunately, the price is dropping due to them being farm raised so with the neon money I could get them for a good price, keep a look out for them. Good luck!

Celestial pearl Danio's apparently, I didn't know that until know.

The site below has some good basic info on care and breeding, hoping to start breeding some myself...if I can find them!

They say that you cannot pass through alot of the area that they are found around. so im sure alot are left that people cant get too.

Oh and i just got a couple more yoyo loaches for my 55g and man they are fun to watch. I am up 2 eight of them and they school around the tank looking for food in the sand. Great fish.
