When we were at the Aquarium Center at the AGA, I was certain I saw some kind of Rasbora with a green back instead of the usual red. I was thinking it was the Rasbora espei, but that's red too. I know it wasn't the maculata or any of the other tiny ones. Maybe my memory stinks. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks,
Ben

I've seen them locally - I suspect someone has gotten a color variant of the normal het.

Cool.. so I probably can't get any very easily, but at least I know I'm not crazy.

Thanks.

If you are not in a rush, you can bet on wide distribution with 6-12 months. "New" color and fin variants make their new-on-the-scene big bucks pretty fast, then fade a bit or completely, depending on how good they are as eye candy, and whether or not there are many lethals associated with the mutation.
