Harlequin Type

[peter212693]

Hello all,

Im looking at expanding my harlequin collection but want to make sure I get the same fish. Can anyone confirm these guys are the standard "Harlequin Rosboras" (T. heteromorpha) and not coppers (T. espei) or Glowlights (T. hengeli)?

Many Thanks

Those are genuine Harlequin Rasboras

Espeis are more coppery and have a smaller black triangle, glowlights are almost all copper

Thanks! I will be down to my local Maidenhead Aquatics on Saturday for some more!

I love these fish, they shoal together easily, are small, slow yet active unless its feeding time and also pretty cheap fish

Slow? Really? Mine are mental!!!!! They're bloody quick too, I had to drain my tank recently and it took me ages to catch them all, it looks easy in the fish shop in a small tank, when you try to catch 6 in a 3 ft tank with plants and ornaments as obstacles its a whole different ball game!!!!!!!

I got 15 or so in a 6 foot tank, its hard to catch anything By slow, I meant they dont dart around the tank 24/7 they do have slow periods. Still a pretty fish one of my favourite
