What fish is this

[canuckamuck]

Hi I was wondering what fish is this. It is native here in Thailand, and it grows to about 15 - 20cm in length It's a river fish. Obviously a cyprinid, but not sure which group or species. I was thinking rasbora, but I don't know.



any ideas

Kind of looks like a Rasbora dusonensis. Only the stripe along its side isn't really standing out.

Whatever it is, it's pretty. Love those bright silver scales

[madagascariensis]

where did you get that fish? at a fish market or caught yourself?
note the faint markings on the tail, a black stripe followed by an orange one.

I thought of rasbora caudimaculata but in a rasbora caudimaculata the colors are reversed.

This is a native fish here in Thailand, someone else caught it, but they are very popular as a food item. I am hoping to breed some, but I was trying to narrow down what it was so I could ask better questions. In Thai they call it Bla siew

Siew is a kind of rasbora.
Pla siew Kwai is the silver rasbora, for instance, and pla siew kang Kwan
Is nothing less than the popular espeis rasbora.
