Wrong Rasbora?! GRR!

[ameliaaahx]

I ordered a batch of 16 Harlequin Rasbora from my local importer as the main school in my 70g tank.

What arrived today? 4 Harlequin Rasbora and 12 Lambchop Rasbora! I told him that I thought they were lambchops and he assured me they were just young harleys, but I know for a fact they aren't. I couldn't bring myself to argue -- I'm always to polite to make disputes about that kind of thing. Plus he's a friend and I do quite a bit of business with him.

So, does it actually matter...?

I have half a dozen young Koi angelfish on order to arrive sometime this week. I picked Harleys as they are a somewhat sturdy fish which is too tall to be swallowed by an angel. Will the lambchops be okay? What should I do??

Same size so I don't think one will be in any more danger than other.

IMO, Espei rasboras look better. I believe thats what you have. Not sure if they will school though :P

[Goes to 11!]

So, does it actually matter...?
Not especially, And not just because you won't be disputing it with the shop:hmm3grin2orange:.
They are the same to the angels & the care is effectively the same.

Did she post a picture I missed?

We're talking about T. Espei vs T. Hengeli? Espei are better coloured, get a bit bigger and are bolder. Needs are the same, both are asian blackwater fish.

They look like this:

I think they're Hengeli, from the google search I just did? Not to be confused with the HARLEQUIN RASBORA (grrr!).

Thinking of keeping the 12 Lambchops and getting another 8 true Harleys so I have 12 of each...
