Trigonostigma hengeli
hengels' rasbora, lambchop rasbora or glowlight rasbora.

Looks like a variation of the Harlequin rasbora, Rasbora hetermorpha, or could be a similar species from the same genus, I must look in one of the Baensch atlas's. It's not a tetra, a cyprinid (rasbora).

Anyway the requirements for them is all the same, I kept them once, they are great looking fish when in large shoals and do well in a planted tank. Reasonably hardy and easy to breed, they originate from parts of idonesia, have a maximum size of 5cm and a minimum tank of 10 gallon.

Personally I prefer the normal colour form. http/www.aquaticvariations.com/images004...raHarlequin.jpg

Edit: Looks like the wolf answered first.

Hi Matt,

No I saw the picture in the April issue of PFK and you are right they are lovely. I ahve never seen them in any LFS here. Looks Like I may have to look further a field to find some.
