Yeah, am I remembering right that although one of the common names is scissortail tetras that they are really a type of rasbora, people seem to divide 50/50 between calling them tetras and rasboras and I've personally never tracked down the scientific name as there have always seemed to be a lot of conflicting ones floating around...

Would you say these are fairly rare? as i cant see anybody with these or any for sale anywhere....

 

[hughessomefish]

In my area i have seen them once

Oh, I always thought of scissors as fairly common.. but I'm often speaking from way back...
