What fish is this

[steeler1]

I believe I found your fish. It is the Rasbora dusonensis; common name: Rosefin rasbora.

This is the closest match I could find.

Hope it helps you.

Well Steeler1, if you were here I would buy you dinner and give you a big hug. I do believe you have found my fish.
I have now done some studying and I see that there isn't that much detail available. But it is quite exciting to know finally what I got.

I put 5 of them them in the breeding cage yesterday, but they jumped out in just a few minutes. Landing safely in the larger tank. That was a jump of about 20 inches vertical, so I guess tomorrow I make a lid for it and try again; apparently they can fly. I shouldn't have been too surprised, once one jumped over my shoulder when I was bent over working in the tank.

Once again thank you very much, I will keep you posted on my progress.

Your very welcome. Those dusty old books come in handy once in awile LOL.

Well since I had such good fortune with the last fish ID, I thought I would try again.
Here is another local fish I am fond of. I call them tigers, but I don't know what they really are. They are about 3+ inches fully grown, they like shallow fast moving water, and they are quite abundant in my backyard (Northern Thailand). Any one know what it is?

Barilius, Not so sure of exact species

Good eye madagascariensis, I believe the fish to be; Barilius pulchellus.

From looking at the birds eye view photo they almost remind me or a Roach or Gudgeon.

Well thank you again guys; Barilius pulchellus (Green Barred Danio) it is. the sites I saw since I got the name say max three inches, but last night we caught a couple that were over 4. Anyhow, I am very happy to know this. I might post up few more pictures later this week, as there are about 5 other types here that I see quite often. Being up here in the jungle, I have no access to any books, and the internet is only good if know what you are looking for.
