i have been trying to get a good picture of these guys but they are very fast adn dont hold still long enough to get a good pic, but when i do get a good one ill post it, but here we go.
i work at a lfs, and they had a school of 8 what they called zaccoo blue scale danios, and no matter how hard i look i cant find any info on them. they have 7 black strips vertical, and they are silver, with more of a greenish yellowtint to them. they are shaped like danios, or minnows. and right now they look to be about 1-2 inches long and that they will reach upto about 4 inches thast my best guess anyhow.they have large eyes, set high on there head, and forward. larger mouth, compared to its body size. but they are a very attractive well mannered active fish. :confused: does anyone have a clue?
i just cant find anything about them, and my boss at work has no idea either, alot of help they were. so i turn to the largest group of fish conosirs(spelled wrong) i have found gathered together in one place.
Any help would be apprieciated!!!
 
Look at Barilius or Raiamas and let me know what you think. I have one Raiamas and have been trying to find some buddies for it.
 
Hookey smokes!!! You nailed it!!! they are Barilius.!! farking -A man! thats awesome. thank you very much. i wasnt sure if my vague desription would get a response. and so quickly even.
Thank you!! i now owe you one:nilly: happy dance.
 
Instead of owing me one, how about owing me a couple of these guys? lol Glad to help

Seriously though... I'd take a couple if you ship.
 
i got them through the store i work at. let me call them and see if they can get anymore. they were 5.99 apeice if they can order how many would you want, they are about 1-2 inches in length.
 
How many, depends on whether or not they are the same species as mine. Can you get photos of yours? Thanks

that is exactly what they look like.
and i called the pet shop and they said they can get them hit and miss and they will order some more in the next time they are on the list, which they said will prolly be in the next week or 2.
You just let me know and we will get this all taken care of. i will try again this evening to get a good picture of the ones in my tank, but i have tried for 2 nights now and all the pics come out blurry cause they are so fast and apperntly camera shy.
 
i cant get a good pic. when i asked the shop abotu the fish they ordered they have them as tiger danios, but i have looked those up and they are NOT the fish i have. lines dont line up, and the color sceme is wrong. but i will look real close at the ones they get in adn let you kow if they are the same fish i have, if so ill grab you a coupl 3 or so!? that good or would you like more of them? u tell me. and hten we wil figure out the shipping side of this.
Have a good night/day when ever you get this one.
 
hey if your still looking at this every now and then*S* we got more of them in at the shop, they are a little bigger than mine, but definatley the same fish. not a tiger danio. Let me know and we can see about getting you some, since i know they can get them at least they have them, i can come up off a few of mine if that works, if you wanna pay shipping and such i can send you a few. get back at me.
 
Reminder:

If you need pix at the store (or wherever) call me:D
