Chili Rasboras

[matttimms49]

Hi there, was great to meet some of you at the auction tonight. Im looking to get some Chili Rasboras and was wondering if anyone knew anywhere that was selling them in Ottawa or if anyone is personally selling them?

Cheers,
Matt

Critter Jungle @ Carling usually has them as well.

thanks for the info guys. I rang critter jungle and they have some very similar rasboras but not the chili at the moment. Will ring big al's after work tonight

Went by big al's East this evening. They did have mosquito rasboras bit I'm not 100% that they are pure chili rasboras. They didn't seem that red. It's so hard to tell though as they are tiny.

I was going by this website for advice http://msjinkzd.com/news/which-boraras-do-you-really-have-a-pictorial-guide/

Gonna take a tthink about it. They did have scarlet Badis though which is another nano fish I was thinking about.

They did have the chili/mosquito rasbora along with 2 others but that was quite a few weeks back, what i think they have left is the Merah Rasbora

Another sponsor that had some Chilis  is La Niche across the river, give them a call or PM

I think what you saw at Big Al`s is Badis Badis & not scarlet Badis, unless they just got the scarlet quite recently.

If you want something with red, take a look at Galaxy Rasboras or also known as Celestial Pearl Danio.
Also hard to find as I bought the last one from Bigals east during Black Friday sale.
Hopefully Marlin will order some more

Thanks for all the replies guys. I believe they were a new shipment of Scarlet Badis, super tiny. They weren't for sale yet though as they had just got them in.

I tried ringing La Niche et Moi but they don't have any in at the moment. I will just have to be patient I guess. 

Also The CPD's are a good shout, I have some in my 10 gallon and they are beautiful little fish They had a few left the last time I was in Critter Jungle on carling.
