I saw these fish in a list of fish some guy had in his tank, but i lost the link to were it was. This fish gets to about only 1 inch and I just wanted to know if anyone has these fish available localy. Im looking for tiny tiny fish that stay small and would even order them since i have only common fish around my area. So has anyone seen these fish or know anything about them? Thanks

Those are most definitly Rasbora maculata and you can keep those fish with any fish that can't eat them. They are small so you can have a huge school even in a large tank. If you treat them real well they'll even breed for you.

So how many do you think could fit in a 10g? Im thinking like 20. But my problem is going to be finding them. I havent seen them anywhere locally so i might have to resort to ordering them, and ive never ordered fish before so can anyone recomend a great site?Thanks

You could keep 20 in a 10 gal but you would have to break in the tank before you put them in. Try buying 25 that way if any die you will still have a nice school.
