My wife "won" a new fish last night. Now I'm just trying to figure out what kind of fish it is. If I haven't owned it I don't know what it is. Any thoughts?

(Sorry for the bad iphone pics)

Could be. Some of the pics look like what I have. Never heard of it before.

Rice fish (in the family Actinopterygii) have round tails. This fish is more in the Rasbora (Cyprinidae) family.

Just another guess. Stressed out Scissortail rasbora?

Not a Scissor Tail, but in that Rasbora family.

Definitely a rasbora...but I agree with Shannon, it's not a scissor.
