Boraras brigittae more elongated and slimmer. Dark spot at caudal-fin base not clear.
 Boraras urophthalmoides more stouter. Dark spot at caudal-fin base are clear. The scientific name, urophthalmoides means caudal-fin base has eye-like spot.  The pictures above are taken from other website.

Haha, because i have more than a hundred of them, some of them are like boraras urophthalmoides and some like b brigittae! very confusing. i bet some are contaminants as they come from same places if i'm not mistaken.

Hmmm from the source of where the fish came from (north of the Malay peninsular, Northern Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia) I'm pretty certain it has to be Boraras uropthalmoides (aka the false B.brigittae or exclaimation mark rasbora).
The REAL red B.brigittae hails from South Borneo... Pangkalanbun in Kalimantan. There's quite a few B.uropthalmoides going around atm... No real B.brigittae that I know of yet currently available. Last edited by kevkoi : 12-06-2006 at 07:24 PM.

hmm.. actually both also quite interested...
Boraras brigittae would be my first choice.. but I would not mind having the Boraras uropthalmoides as well.. I do not really see any LFS selling such fish.. besides as mentioned YT's place which is quite far away.. :P

Heard its available in N/A in Subang Jaya too. So head on down there..... like mentioned before.... at first glance this seems to be Brigittae.... but judging from the location which they came from its likely B.Uroptholmaides.
