Rasboras....rare kinds?

[TAL]

Are there any really cool looking rasboras that you don;t often see. I want a school of them but I'd like something a bit out of the ordinary.

ANy ideas????

There's the galaxy rasbora (celestial pearl danio). They only get to be about 1".

There's also the "emerald eye" rasbora (never seen them before, but they came up on a Google search.

And dwarf rasbora (another one that just came up on a Google search).

There's also dwarf emerald rasbora (kinda really like the looks of these!).

Oooh...that galaxy one looks sweet! I'm thinking a dozen of those schooling around would look nice!

dwarf emerald rasbora - just saw those at my LFS. he got in a bunch and he said he's never seen them before.....only in pictures....they were pretty cheap. around $2 bucks or so. the ones i saw were a bit small and the color wasn't as vibrant but that's probably b/c they're at the fish store so more stress.

Gah! I would love a school of the dwarf emeralds for my 18gal tall! They're so cool-looking.

TAL, I wanted CPDs (aka-galaxy rasbora) for my 18gal tall, but they're like $8 each plus shipping.

Chili Rasbora are nice also. Not 'rare' but not seen often.
