Nano fish id

[fishfanatic80]

Good afternoon mfk, I recently added some stock to my nano and had to have this fish when I saw it. Marked as a chili rasbora, I'm trying to confirm through you guys because I'd like to add to the group. Currently I have 3 but ultimately want about 10. Currently housed with crs and harlequin rasboras. I'm most likely gonna sub out the harlequins and just keep a group of these guys. If you guys can confirm the Id that would be great. Based off images online I'm having doubts that they are chilies. I've noticed they have a solid black stripe through the body and look more red then the ones I have unless they are just females. Thank you

That looks like Phoenix rasbora.

Do you have a scientific name by any chance? Is the Phoenix rasbora the same boraras merah. The spotted dwarf rasbora or boraras maculatus and boraras naevus also looks very similar to the fish

I just did a google search and found what looked closest to what you had. I don't know much about these fish. Sorry about that.

No problem hopefully msjinkzd can chime in she wrote a whole segment on dwarf rasboras and specializes in nano fish. Is there private messaging in this site still or no?

There is. If you're on a computer it should be right under the person's avatar.
