I think it's kind of a silly name. I also THINK that's what I have. They ARE some kind of Rasbora though. I had 2, then one was killed, the survivor was alone for a very long time and I felt very bad for him because when the other was alive they were together at all times... So today I got 2 more. I'm almost 100% positive they are the same though the new ones are a little smaller and very very bright compared to the one I have. I'm hoping it's just because the original is older. Compared, he is pale!!! He has the yellow/gold stripe but most of the black stripe and any red on his tail is long gone... I read somewhere they can live up to 7 years!!! He must be 4 or 5 hopefully him and his new friends will live happily for at least a couple more years. My real question is, what should I be feeding them??? The original has been very content with my high end goldfish food but I suddenly feel that he needs food that was made for him. I have some tropical flakes but he and the new ones don't seem all to excited for them.. What else can they eat?

It made me feel even worse when I put the new ones in, almost IMMEDIATELY, they all joined in a corner and the original (affectionately called Stick) has been glued to their sides ever since.

I suppose now that I've made a post about them what kind of plant cover is good for them? They live in a tank with goldfish but they leave each other alone completely. No problems from either group. It's a 20 gallon tank.
